Professional Profile

I have been making jewelry since was 9 years old. During the last 30 + years I have learned a lot about the materials I use...Where they come from, how their made, the time it takes to produce interesting pieces, etc... I simply take those individual pieces and create designs from my own thoughts and inspirations.

Over the past 6 years, I've been trying my hand at lampworking. This is basically creating glass beads from the raw materials....rods of multi-colored glass, heated to extreme temperatures and shaped into a variety of styles and colors.
