Over the years I searched for a creative outlet. I dabbled in various artistic hobbies, from painting, to charcoal, to wheel pottery. I had always been fascinated by metalwork and ability for a person to heat and mold a piece of metal into beautiful art form. I finally had the opportunity to take a class from a gifted gemologist, metalsmith and jeweler, Judy Hoch.
One class was all it took and I was hooked.
I’m lucky to live in a beautiful place, surrounded by 14,000 foot mountains, mountain lakes, rivers and streams. Inspired by the beauty that surrounds me and channeling my great-grandfather, a metalsmith who created beautiful sculpture in late 19th century Europe, I have begun to create my own look. I’m excited about this next phase in my life, using my hands to combine beautiful gemstones, silver and patinas — and to honor my great grandfather. I use geometric designs in many of my pendants, earrings, rings and bracelets, inspired by the incredible view from my window of the craggy rocky mountains that surround me. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoyed creating it!
