I have been making jewelry for as long as I can remember in some form or another and have been fascinated with jewelry and stones since I was a young girl. Although I was a professional wildlife biologist for over 20 years, I found time to advance my passion for jewelry making along the way and took classes at the Denver School of Metal Arts, the Maine College of Art, and Humboldt State University. I'm still learning and improving, but loving the process and the craft. Like many things in life, some of my favorite creations were spawned from mistakes that I made. I look forward to continuing to turn mistakes into magic and honing my craft throughout my life.
