Something about Me

I love jewelry, always have. I love nature, gardening and my husband. Creating jewelry with an organic look  and imitating natural form is my passion.

My art jewelry is hand forged using techniques such as chasing & repousse, fold forming and embossing. It is created using fine silver, copper and brass to mimic organic forms. I use fine silver because I really like the way it works, it is 99.9% silver unlike sterling at 92.5% and it is a little softer. I also love to reuse and recycle old silver-plate and turn it into new art.

Some of my pieces are mounted with semi-precious stones and other interesting objects taken from my very cool collection. I use natural materials to oxidize and add the patinas. Take all that, combine it with my wild imagination, and I never know what the finished piece will look like! Surprise!!
