Jewelry

I have been designing and making jewelry since the early 1970s. I enjoy working predominantly in silver and natural stones, and I love the accent and spark that Austrian crystals and Czech beads bring to some of my work.

I learned quite a variety of silver smithing techniques at UCSD including Keum-boo, chasing, anticlastic raising, and reticulation.  I like to vary my work, rotating my love for beads with wire weaving and a variety of other techniques.

I love living & working in Gig Harbor, the most comfortable and art loving community I have ever enjoyed.
