makes one-of-a-kind and "limited edition" jewelry using sterling silver, various stones and other materials as the design dictates.

For me it's about manipulating the metal...forming a fluid chain from silver wire...sawing intricate shapes...soldering metals into original designs.

There is something magical and creative in using tools well.

I received a B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a major in Sculpture.

I've been teaching high school art in Illinois and Florida for more than 20 years.
