Biography

My love affair with jewelry began with gemstones and precious metals as I transitioned from fiber artist to jewelry artist.  Then in 2006 I began working with Precious Metal Clay (PMC).  This flexible material can be shaped, textured, and carved using a variety of techniques.  After drying, I fire the clay in a kiln which burns the binder away, leaving pure sintered metal.  I had found my medium!  I went for certification through PMC Connection and soon attained their top Level 3 Certification.  I continue my training by taking several Master Level classes each year.

My work is also available at Sara's Jewel Box in Gordonsville, VA and
Purcellville Pottery & Local Arts in Purcellville, VA.

I also love to do artisan shows, where I can meet my collectors personally. The juried shows in which I participate are concentrated in the fall, which I have listed on my “Information/Upcoming Shows” page.
