My passion for jewelry and creating with my hands began after taking my first Jewelry/Metalsmithing class in 9th grade.  I then pursued my love of design and fine craft through a degree from R.I.T's prestigious School for American Craftsmen in Rochester, NY. Over the ensuing years I have been given amazing opportunities to work side by side with some of the most talented master goldsmiths, designers, stone setters, artists, craftspeople and jewelry stores in the industry.  Every one of them have played an integral part in shaping who I have become as a master jeweler, artist and craftsperson. I feel extraordinarily grateful for the sharing of knowledge and opportunities that have accompanied me on my journey as an artist. 

 

I now create out of my own boutique design studio near Colorado Springs, CO.  Through my creative endeavors, I aspire to accentuate the connection between the natural beauty all around us and the inner beauty of the wearer, as well as igniting the creative fire that exists in each one of us. 

​

In addition to my artistic endeavors I am a passionate advocate for creative education and have an ongoing creative meditation practice. I am honored to be the mother of three beautiful adolescent children whose creativity, kindness and love brings me more joy and creative inspiration than I would have ever imagined. I am now also working with clients on a coaching and consulting basis, offering them insight, clarity and perspective in how to bring more creativity and energy into their personal and professional lives.
