About the Designer

My jewelry-crafting skills were acquired through formal classes and experimenting with color and a variety of materials. Inspired by both Baroque and modern jewelry design, I enjoy combining colors that are pleasing to the eye -- sometimes subtle and sometimes bold. Semi-precious stones and Swarovski crystal are used with gold and silver accents. Precious Metal Clay (PMC) elements are sometimes introduced into my designs. I have degrees in Anthropology, Graphic Design, Design Studies, and Business Marketing, and I continue to take a variety of classes in art and jewelry design.
