Fine Hand-Crafted Jewelry
“Experimentation, invention, excellent design and craftsmanship ... fine art beyond something to wear”
I remember as a child a cathartic moment
when I was drawing with great emotion an
abstract picture. I thought, “I really like
doing this, this is freedom to be who I am.”
Again when I was fifteen, I saw the movie,
“Lust for Life” about Vincent Van Gogh.
Seeing his wonderful paintings inspired me
to follow my heart. So I painted, and
exhibited in San Francisco
Bay Area art museums and galleries. In 1968
I earned a B.F.A degree from the California
College of Arts and Crafts in painting.
After I finished school and moved to Mendocino County, I wove tapestries and shawls which I sold at craft fairs. During the last twelve years I have been making unique rings, pendants and earrings with precious metals and gemstones.
My jewelry is on exhibit at the Artists’ Cooperative of Mendocino gallery and at the Mendocino Art Center.
Unique designs inspired by nature.
Fold-formed metal and cast work. Silver and copper and gemstones.
Commissioned pieces can be arranged.
Wear original art!
