Bio:

A jewelry class in high school led to a further exploration of jewelry techniques at university. Study under a professional goldsmith emphasized the practical application of skills and stone-setting. A degreed biologist, the artist reveals an appreciation of nature in the use of flowing lines, interesting textures, and organic shapes. Many pieces are designed around a special stone, fossil, or artifact. An enjoyable challenge is creating a wearable piece of jewelry using someone’s personal memento or special “find.”
