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.

Love the bracelet and earrings with the houses! Visited your booth in Milwaukee Saturday morning-ish and talked a little bit about stamping (and how I stamp, but with pre-made designs!) and how you make your stamps. It was nice to meet you and interesting to learn how you make your beautiful pieces. I hope to see you at another show!
