About the Artist

For a long time I have had the dream of starting a jewelry business, but something else always came first – raising children, earning a reliable income as a teacher, educational video producer, consultant and writer. Now the time has come to put the metalwork on the agenda – and it is the realization of a dream deferred.

Over the years I never stopped making jewelry and learning new techniques. I took my first jewelry classes when I was in college and then moved to Germany where I exhibited and studied for 2 ½ years with master goldsmith, Lutz Quambusch.

My current studio is a cabin in the woods of rural Wisconsin. My pieces are a reflection of the inspiration I find within, and the beauty that surrounds me. The designs come from a deep place within me, and I hope to touch a corresponding deep place in others.
