I got started in the jewelry business when I apprenticed with a local jeweler. She taught me how to work with silver and gold, repairs, casting, fabrication, stone setting and just about everything in between. When she retired, I bought all of her equipment and set off on my own. Since I tend to move around a lot, I built my studio inside of a 6' x 10' cargo trailer which is what I work out of now.

Having grown up on Lopez, I draw my inspiration from the fine details that surround us in nature, but more specifically stones mined and found here in the United States, and the landscape and feeling they evoke. I enjoy the small, mundane aspects of design and take pleasure in my craft and always trying to reach a certain perfection.
