Nature is the inspiration for many of my pieces.  Precious Metal Clay (PMC) silversmith technique has opened up fresh and unique opportunities to incorporate nature into my jewelry designs.  It is exciting to take a real leaf, layer it with several coats of silver and have the end result be an extraordinary piece of jewelry, as shown in my “Verbena” and “Geranium” collections.

My “Sea Fan” and “Sea Coral” collections were created by using various corals that washed up on shore ~ creating a mold of that texture ~ again using Precious Metal Clay (PMC) to come up with a unique design.  All my jewelry is hand made using either Sterling Silver or Fine Silver.  I use natural stones or hand made lamp work beads made by various artists from around the country.  Many of my most recent creations are designed using fused Dichroic glass.

I am a certified PMC artisan and an Art Clay instructor and maintain membership in the Minnesota Metal Clay Guild and the Upper Midwest Bead Society.
