I have known ever since I was a child growing up on
the shores of Lake Superior in Upper Michigan that
I would work with my hands. The decision was
solidified when I took my first metals class at
Northern Michigan University in...well let's just say
it's been a few years. It has been my passion ever
since. The journey has taken me to Vail, Colorado,
where I worked as a goldsmith for 15 years.

I find that working in the jewelry arts allows me to think
sculpturally, graphically and painterly. I can also satisfy
my desire to make things with my hands as well as
use tools such as files and torches.
My wish is that each finished piece is perfectly made,
contemporary, elegant, refreshing to the eye and
highly wearable.

I’m interested in the stuff that flows in and out of our
lives - a scrap of fur, a ceramic shard. These objects
are often imbued with unexplored meaning and
emotion. I’m drawn to relationships, and in making my
jewelry, I get to explore the relationships that we have
with these materials, where they come from and how
they can be understood through the medium of
jewelry.
