I am mesmerized by colors, shapes and textures. My mission is to combine these elements into stunning, bold pieces of jewelry for the woman who want to be noticed. Making jewelry that combines the unusual and the unexpected is my passion: wood with jade, rhinestones with recycled glass, shells with smoky quartz. I love to use chains, charms and free form wire wrapping in my designs.

At heart, I am a fashionista. As a child, I spent my days gazing into a makeshift armoire, organizing my dresses and daydreaming of beautiful outfits. My Saturday shopping expeditions and visits to museums with my mother in downtown Philadelphia became a means of exploring the world of art and fashion.

I adore great design. I'm inspired by everything from an Armani dress to a Matisse painting to the humble paper clip.

After years of being a passionate crafter - sewing, knitting, painting and dying textiles - my jewelry design journey began one day in 2005 while visiting a local bead shop. I spotted some simple necklaces: silk cords strung with crystal beads. Taken by their easy elegance, I picked up a few supplies, starting stringing my own necklaces, and was soon swept up in a creative whirlwind that took me from metal smithing to wire wrapping to enameling.

With each day, as the sun rises over the New Mexico mountains, I continue to find inspiration and create new one-of-a-kind designs--for women like her who want to journey through life boldly and colorfully.
