I was born and raised in Ocala, FL, but moved to Savannah, GA to pursue an education in art. In 2002, I graduated with honors obtaining a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design. My major was 'Metals and Jewelry'.

My inspirations come from everyday life, as I seek to transform the beauty I find into the permanence of metal and stone. The designs are often uplifting with positive messages in the hopes that they can make the world a little bit brighter.

I fabricate with metal and also do some glass enameling on copper. In 2010, I began to introduce recycled silverplate flatware into my designs. I love the history that the flatware has. These new pieces have a combination of elements: enamel, gemstones, and silver metalwork.
Bringing new life to the flatware, while at the same time imparting a tangible history to the resulting jewelry design, is exciting!

The jewelry I create is generally uplifting and/or happy, as I would like my impact on the world and those around me to at minimum be a smile.

I have a husband named Dave, 2 hairless cats named Maya and Ruby, and one big goof of a dog named Bailey.
