I have my bachelor of fine art (BFA) with a concentration in metal design.
I studied art at East Carolina University, metal seemed to be my thing, so i ran with it.

I moved to Wilmington, NC shortly after graduation to work at Reed's Jewelers as a jewelry repairwoman. I learned alot about craftsmanship, working with gold, and how to set stones and fix the impossible. I liked it but it was not what my heart desired. I wanted to create the jewelry not just fix it.

So then I began working the craft fair market. I got a tent and began doing festivals. I really enjoyed the festivals and would have continued them but I was blessed with my son, and I put everything on hold for him. You see it is impossible to use a torch around an infant.

This brings us to today, I am getting busy again, relearning and honing my craft. I have amassed a good inventory and am beginning to show in festivals again.

You can physically find my products at River to Sea Gallery at Chandler's Warf, Wilmington, NC


----------
I design fun wearable works of art using .......

  • traditional sterling silver
  • Argentium sterling silver
  • gold
  • copper
  • brass
  • enamel
  • Swarovski crystals
my techniques include, but are not limited to
  • bending
  • filing
  • hammering
  • soldering
  • polishing
  • torch fire enameling
  • kiln enameling
  • patination.
  • WaterCasting
My designs are fabricated from wire and sheet metal, therefore no two pieces are exactly the same.



---I recently discovered Argentium Sterling Silver, I will be making the switch from Traditional Sterling to Argentium. Unless my products are specified as Argentium it is Traditional Sterling. If you would like a design recreated in Argentium feel free to contact me. The price will be 10% higher as Argentium is more expensive. Pretty soon now I will be offering only Argentium Sterling Silver Products.

My blog can be a fun read if you like that sort of thing, it resides here

I do talk about my jewelry a little, it is mostly about my garden right now though.
