I grew up in Vermont and moved to Florida after high school. Having always enjoyed creating and making things with my hands I enrolled in a silversmithing class, not knowing what to expect. I loved it !! The tools and techniques of the craft caught my attention and I've been making jewelry ever since. I continue to take workshops and classes when I can and I spend much of my time in the studio handcrafting silver jewelry.

I like to make jewelry that is asymmetrical and one of a kind and I find that sea glass is perfect for that. I have sea glass from the Caribbean and Hawaii and many beaches in between. The free form and organic nature of the sea glass inspire me to create jewelry that is as unique as each piece of glass. The colors are soft and stand out beautifully when set in silver.

I fabricate the settings in a manner that frames the glass with a silver edge. Most pieces are designed so that light passes through and illuminates the glass. The connecting links and jumprings and clasps are all handmade. I sign my work with a small broken arrow, a symbol for peace.

In addition to the sea glass I am also making enameled jewelry. It is bright and colorful and fun to wear.
