In 2005 when I found the perfect necklace for my wedding dress in a Brides Magazine & couldn't find it anywhere, I decided I would just have to try and make it! That's where it all began.

Over the next 7 years I expanded my skills and found a specialty. I use a technique called wire wrapping. Wire wrapping gives so much versatility to my pieces. One thing that tends to set me apart from other jewelry artists is I make a "wrapped loop" on every piece of jewelry I make, that way no matter what you do, the charm, clasp, earring or whatever is adorning the jewelry doesn't come apart. It also gives it a more elegant and finished look.

I draw inspiration from celebrities and nature but also, clothing. When I see a shirt or a dress I think to myself, "I know what would be perfect for that!!" So, needless to say, custom orders are my favorite!

As a teacher, I have to dress pretty conservative so I like to dress up my wardrobe with colorful and sometimes funky "statement" jewelry. Just about every day you'll find me wearing a sweater guard-they are my favorite go-to accessory and a cool bracelet or shoulder duster earrings, my favorite!
