All my life I have been drawn to the creative process in a variety of ways. When faced with choosing a life path my passion drew me to focus on music and the visual arts.

Over time I became accomplished in music (MM from CalArts in music composition) yet my creative process demanded an additional form of expression. My passion for the visual arts was rekindled through study with Dorothy Danziger at CalArts and I have enjoyed the parallel careers of music and visual arts over the last twenty years.

Numbers and structures fascinate me. The dynamic pull between the intellect and spirit manifests in my creations. For the past five years, I’ve been focusing on the pleasures inherent in jewelry--the play of light in gemstones, the textures and weight of different metals and the technical challenges involved in making art wearable.

My jewelry has been collected by people in all walks of life. I’ve been honored to make engagement and wedding rings as well as special requested pendants and earrings. This spring my pendant Caged Porcelain was included in the book 500 Pendants, published by Lark Books.
