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.

I just love your artwork. It's so easy to connect with and looks like it just grew from the ground, sprung from a well, was picked from a tree, or conjured from the mysteries that are. It is just beautiful and I was so honored to view your work in person as well as your sketchbook at this weekend's 'Fest-for-All' in Baton Rouge. Thank you ;-)

My favorite is the Spring Maiden pendant, but they are all lovely!
