I create and specialize in one-of-a-kind art jewelry. Each piece is
unique and meticulously executed using quality materials. Sterling or
fine silver comprise the
body of most designs and polymer clay has become more prevalent in my recent pieces. Precious and semi-precious gemstones, vintage glass,
and lampworked beads add rich embellishment to the bracelets and necklaces
I create.
Carved bone, found objects, resin, and other non-traditional materials are often added to my designs as accents. I’ve
also made cloisonné enamel the focal point of a number of pieces.
I use both fine or sterling silver sheet and metal clay to hand fabricate
my beads and charms. Metal clay (PMC® and Art Clay Silver™) is comprised of pure silver and a binder
in clay form. It must be formed into a design, then fired in a kiln, and finally, hand finished by brushing and polishing.
The process is somewhat time consuming, but the results render unique jewelry
components. Creating one-of-a-kind pieces keeps my work fresh, allowing
new ideas to burst forth. I hope you will enjoy perusing the photos
of my work as much as I enjoyed creating the pieces themselves!
The Artful Accessories page displays my latest collection of knitwoven scarf designs and other non-jewelry items. These scarves are available in your choice of colors by special order. Many imported novelty yarns are employed in each design to add loads of texture. They are a sure-fire way to dress up any wardrobe!

Most items pictured are for sale or by special order, though some are past designs from my
archives or personal collection. Commissions are accepted. Please note,
however, that since every piece is a unique creation, no two pieces are
exactly alike. Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may
have. All designs are copyrighted.
