About Me

Many years of drawing and painting portraits lead to cramped creativity. The years of producing work "to please the customer" weighed on my desire to design tactile permanent pieces simply for the real pleasure it gives me. My first freeing step was to produce large designs in rough cut steel to be installed on the outside of buildings. I later moved indoors working in sheets of sterling silver to create jewelry. Finding the silver work more gratifying than steel, I am pleased that people enjoy my jewelry. I make my own stamping tools and hammer most surfaces, finishing with steel wool or polishing to a high shine. My husband, Leigh, and I sell my work at the juried shows we are invited to all across the U.S. Email for prices and information please swadeworks@gmail.com

At shows we have the opportunity to meet you many lovely and interesting people. Thank you for your appreciation of my designs, and a special thanks to all of you that have purchased a piece or two to enjoy.

The contentment I experience in working at something I enjoy, and making a living at it, is wonderful.

Our lives are blessed -- you are part of it -- thank you!!

Have a great time this fall getting ready for Thanksgiving and the Holy Days (holidays!). If I can help you by sending you a piece of jewelry to give as a gift please let me know your price range and I'll email you some photos to choose from. My earrings are $38-$125, pendants $75-$600, rings $150-$450, cuff bracelets $85-$350, and linked bracelets $250-$900.
