I'm Mid-west born, Forida raised, and reside in Washington State.

I have a fine arts education and experience, with an emphasis on music.

I have had careers in music, the arts and public service.

In the 1980's, I lived abroad. In addition to receiving all the benefits of living in another culture, I was able to travel extensively. During my travels, I was exposed to many styles and motifs of cultures around the world. This exposure has been invaluable in designing jewelry as I am able to translate so much of what I saw into my designs.
