I'm a self-taught jewelry artist and instructor. My favorite media is wire but I have a great fondness for beads, especially natural stones. I love integrating fiber into my pieces as well. The result is an eclectic mix of style in my work....from funky to fabulous....bodacious to beautiful. Jewelry design allows me to follow my moods and I have so very many of those :D Just ask my family!

I must mention that I am so very blessed to have a great God who gave me the gifts I have for creating. My job is to figure out "the plan" and be thankful for it.

I also have a wonderful family - my husband who is eternally supportive of my work and two great kids-a daughter still at home and my inspiration for so many things, a son in Ohio who makes me think and makes me laugh, and a beautiful daughter-in-law who is not only a wonderful wife to my son, she is a great mother. They have blessed us with our absolutely perfect grandson!

I also have two dogs, a little Westie named Brodie and a Wire Haired Fox Terrier named Mae who play a huge part in my life and keep me entertained and moving...always.
