Hey There

I grew up going to art classes with my Mom who handed me a pencil and sketchbook to keep  busy. Growing up on a ranch I was always in love with nature, bringing home rocks and twisted sticks as treasures.   In my early 20's I went to work in an art gallery where I took stained glass classes.  I had my own storefront for five years, teaching and taking workshops in glass.  I love exploring new techniques to add interesting details to my scopes.  I keep my wirewrap designs modern and clean to enhance the beautiful sparkle of the Dichroic glass cabochons.  My silversmithing is the opposite.  I have fallen in love with carving, sawing and layering sterling silver to make earthy pieces that tell a story.  On a whim, I started playing with paper, creating treasured journals from digital downloads.  The beautiful graphics are so pleasing to the eye and playful to make.  It is a joy to learn new techniques that can add another facet to skills I've honed for years.
