A Fire Within...

"I've always loved unusual, striking jewelry.   I discovered a friend in Atlanta had a thriving handmade jewelry business and my curiosity was piqued.  How did she come up with her designs and more importantly, how did she create the pieces? 


 On a journey to answer these questions, I found a bead shop and signed up for a class on earring making.  Once I held the needle nose pliers in my hand and struggled to make a loop for the first time, I KNEW my own creative juices were simmering just below the surface!


At first, I concentrated on beading with silver wire.  While gratifying in it's own way,  metalsmithing is my passion. The bends and swirls of  cool sterling silver and warmth of copper add a free flow element to my bold offerings.  In addition to these organic elements, I have incorporated semi precious stones into my one of a kind pieces."


Natural elements, old as time itself, metals, stones, and fire from my torch, combine to make  Art. You Wear.
