I am a native California studio jeweler, although my first experience with metalwork occurred in Greenwich Village, New York.

My longtime interest in Celtic design and the paintings of the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood led me to William Morris, the Arts & Crafts Movement and Archibald Knox.

In April 1998 I was awarded use of the Roycroft Renaissance Artisan mark and have enjoyed the use of it since. In the year 2000 I was elevated to the level of Master Artisan. The artisans and friends who have come into my life since this association with the Roycrofters has contributed both to growth in the work I do. as well as affording me a sense of community that had been missing in the isolation of studio work. This was a relationship I appreciated until 2006 when I chose not to re-apply for the mark.

My work is handcrafted, utilizing fabrication and lost wax methods. The pieces are created in sterling silver, gold, and enamels with a variety of gemstones. Prices typically range from $75.00 to $400.00.
