My jewelry designs are handmade, consciously crafted jewelry creations that integrate the human experience, stories, and often support a cause. “Story” is the primary focus of my artwork. Life’s collective events inspire me deeply. I feel it is my divine gift to be able to tell stories uniquely through my creations.

I started making jewelry in the 1970’s having learned metalsmithing in high school. I went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Art Center College of Design. Always curious with a love of learning, I have continued adding jewelry making skills to my repertoire independently as well as in workshops and classes.

I am very proud to have been a co-owner of the Marin Jewelers Guild in San Rafael as well as on the Metal Arts Guild of San Francisco’s board of directors.
