I am essentially self-taught. I begin with fabulous gems and minerals that I'm drawn to and choose for their earthy quality. I then add gold, silver and texture. I carve in wax, repousse, hammer in wood, and use rolled print metal. My work is always evolving; both in materials and images. As a result, my display cases reflect the different moods and styles I've developed. I hope you enjoy looking at and wearing my "little sculptures."
