I developed my love for the islands after my first Caribbean cruise in the early 1990's. Since then, I have spent many vacations visiting the various islands and truly love the people, the flora and fauna, and of course, the incredible waters. Much of my work is inspired by these trips and my ultimate goal is to one day be an "Island Girl". I currently love residing in Colorful Colorado, and you will also see inspiration from my home state, as well as my roots in Kansas.

My love for crafts led me to jewelry design a number of years ago, then once I was introduced to PMC, I must admit, I became totally obsessed! I am studying and training to achieve the highest level of skills possible and I work diligently to stay informed of the latest trends. I love to spend countless hours in my studio designing and creating one of a kind pieces that are meticulously designed and finished.

I work with silver, copper and bronze PMC, sterling silver, a multitude of beads and precious and semi-precious gemstones. I genuinely welcome custom orders.

What is Metal Clay?
Throughout this site, you will see numerous pieces handcrafted with Metal
Clay. Precious Metal Clay was invented in Japan in the early 1990's. It is made from
powdered precious metal combined with an organic binder and water. It can modeled,
molded, or sculpted in a way similar to ceramic or polymer clay. When heated to
a high temperature, the binder burns away, and the precious metal particles sinter
(or fuse) intol solid silver, gold, copper or bronze. The silver pieces you see in
the fine silver section are 99.9% silver after firing and the copper and bronze are
100% metal. . Each piece is handcrafted by me and is one-of-a-kind.
Custom requests are welcome!
