During my studies at the Art Institute of Chicago and Southern Illinois University, I focused on embellishment, fiber and metals. I now create elaborate one of a kind pieces for adornment, from found objects, deep with spiritual and historical meaning. As a professional artist and jewelry designer, my work has been exhibited in museums, such as the Smithsonian Museum of Art, Huntington Museum of Art and the Ohio Craft Museum. On the technical side I just completed my first book called, “MAKING CONNECTIONS- A HANDBOOK OF COLD JOINS FOR JEWELERS AND MIXED MEDIA ARTSITS. I teach workshops and recently am involved with the American Craft Council Shows. Recent awards include Most Innovative Use of the Medium, for Bead International 2006, Telly Award 2006 for a Public television artist profile.
