I began making jewelry while I was an art student. I was on break, and needed a creative outlet that was stress free, something that I didn't do while I was in school. I had a wonderful art professor who had high expectations of his students. We were expected not only to produce quality work, but we were expected to be prolific as well. I made so many pieces that I needed to find a way to sell them in order to continue to make jewelry.

The quality of my craftsmanship has improved through a logical progression. I first started by stringing plastic beads onto stretch cord, then glass beads onto stretch cord. I then went to the next step by upgrading to glass and plated toggle clasps, then glass with sterling silver clasps, and so on. Most of my pieces are now made with gemstones, freshwater pearls, fabulous Swarovski crystals, and sterling silver.

I have both long and short term goals set for my artwork and myself. I have learned a great deal since I've begun, and still have more to learn about jewelry making!
