My memories of visits with family and friends that added love to my life and exciting travels around the world, experiencing nature such as bird watching, collecting seashells on Sanibel Island, fall leaves changing color in the Midwest from my Michigan childhood influence my designs. The dogs and cats that have been members of our family over the years also find their way into my creations. I have been fortunate to study with jewelry instructors around the United States learning many techniques including silversmithing, glass enameling so I can weave them into my creations using sterling silver, gold, stones. Whether casual wear every day items or more 'night on the town' in, I hope you will find a piece that sparks a memory or speaks to you or a loved one.
