My “jewelry for the house” concept began in 1985 where I designed, developed and sold crystal mobiles in my gallery in Columbus, Ohio, along with my beaded jewelry. Moving to Colorado in 1997, I dumped the retail gallery owner concept for the gypsy life of a show artist. I’ve found that that the fine artists I’ve met along the way are my “art school”. I’ve exhibited in many shows (see below) and have shown in many galleries. The design and bead selection is uniquely my own, although some elements are mass produced: Czech glass silver-lined bugle beads, 12kt gold fill or Argentium sterling silver wire and round beads, Swarovski crystal chandelier pieces and beads.
