I’m a second-generation metalsmith, taught by my Mom.  While my Mom and Dad are both silversmith jeweler designers, my Mom taught me the art of metalsmithing over 13 years ago. I started as her apprentice and eventually in 2013 started my own jewelry line and have been a full-time working jewelry designer since. I  love sharing my passion with others and have taught and lectured students ranging from school age to collegiate level metalsmithing. My work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. in  galleries, boutiques and juried fine art shows.  I have also won numerous awards and grants for jewelry design. I can’t wait to teach my passion to you!
