For years I wanted to express myself artistically. I tried drawing, painting, crafting... but nothing seemed to be the right endeavor. Then in 1999 I saw the work of some amazing jewelry artisans and I knew I had found my medium for expressing myself. I like working with all different jewelry mediums, from beading, wire work to polymer clay. Polymer clay is a fascinating medium from which all different shapes and designs can be created and by mixing the various colors a huge palette of colors is unearthed. My other love is copper in all its variations...bright shiny copper, antiqued copper, heated copper. I will be concentrating on designs utilizing polymer clay and wire work in brass, copper and sterling this year. I am inspired by color...dazzling amazing color! Bright colors, cool colors, colors found in nature and colors of the imagination. Inspiration is to be found everywhere... from a piece of broken jewelry, a dazzling artglass stone, an unusual finding or out in nature. Each piece is handmade by me. I take great pride in my creations and I design and craft my jewelry with care and attention to detail. A piece isnt finished until its a piece I can be proud of.
