Growing up, I always was mesmerized by sparkling gemstones and metals and I often incorporate something illuminating into my designs. Whether or not I intricately plan a jewelry piece in advance of producing it or just spontaneously fabricate one as I go along, the result is inevitably something that is unique with a contemporary flair that complements, rather than overwhelms, a wearer. When designing jewelry or other metal work, I always think about whether I would wear it, use it, and/or display it. Anyone who knows me sees a reflection of me in what I design.

In addition to participating in art shows and sales and doing commission work, I love providing instruction in jewelry design and metal fabrication. My work has been in noa (Groton and Concord, MA), 13 Forest (MA), Karenna Maraj (MA), Metalwerx (MA) Red Dot (ME), Brookfield Craft Center (CT), and Blink (NY) galleries and the store, Banyan Tree (OH).
