My creative journey began about 30 years ago when I took a basic jewelry class in metals at a local art center. Enamored with the torch, and the transformation of raw metals to a finished piece of jewelry, I continued my studies in traditional forms of Metalsmithing.

More recently, I learned the art of enameling. Being drawn to vibrant color, this was a natural progression for me. While I continue to learn this magical medium, I now combine it with my metal work through the art of Cloisonné and Champlevé techniques.
