| Introduction | It began as an obsessive love of stone, and has turned into an outlet I cannot imagine living without. The need to create has always been in me, and until I began fabricating metal and setting stone that need never felt satisfied. I began my training at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco, CA in 2004. Once I started learning how to work with metal, there was no doubt this was what I was supposed to be doing. Becoming a jeweler has been a wonderful experience, I’ve met amazing artists and worked interesting jobs while fine tuning my skills. In 2008 I got what I thought was the dream job as the design assistant for a jeweler in NYC. This turned out to be a great learning experience, but the real dream was to work on my own pieces. Between 2005 and 2010 I've lived in CA, CT, NJ and finally IN. I currently live with my fiancé and our two children in South Bend where I am able to spend much of my time creating new work. My work is currently sold through internet sales, arts and crafts fairs, and jewelry shows hosted by homeowners across Indiana, Michigan and back home in Connecticut. Please see my website for show dates and details on hosting a party. |
