I have been involved in the art world since 1985, first as a production potter specializing in decorative Raku Pottery. Then came a change to working with glass, creating jewelry items, mirrors, and large fused glass sculptures. In 1999 I was introduced to the new product called Precious Metal Clay. I immediately connected my pottery clay days with this new product and began my jewelry career. It has since evolved into traditional metal smithing and stone setting. Sourcing elegant and diverse stones is one of my passions, as well as creating one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces with precious and semi-precious stones.
