I have always loved to create and when I discovered polymer clay several years ago, making jewelry became my passion. After many years of working in the mental health field as an Art Therapist and Social Worker, I added jewelry making to my resume and started crafting and selling to my friends and colleagues.

I love working in metal clay and mixed media. I also love polymer clay. My polymer creations are constructed from mixed media veneers I make with liquid polymer clay. Often, I add gemstones and handmade metal clay components. I pride myself on excellent craftsmanship!

I am inspired by colors and a desire to use jewelry making materials in a unique way to create wearable art.

I recently moved back to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I previously lived for over 20 years in South Florida before moving to Louisville KY, Hagerstown, MD, and Atlanta, GA within the past five years. I am ready to stay put for some time here in Florida, but Kentucky will always be home <3 I grew up in Louisville, and consider it to be one of the best kept secrets around!

I am a proud member of The Artisan Group, which has provided me with amazing opportunities to create and gift jewelry to celebrities and at major award show gift lounges. In 2012, my jewelry was displayed and gifted at the GBK Gift Lounge for the Oscars and at the official gift lounge for The 46th Annual CMA Awards. In 2013, I was fortunate to have my jewelry on display and gifted at the GBK Gift Lounge for the Primetime Emmys.

In January 2014, my Artifact Amulet necklace was worn on the CW shows "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Hart of Dixie", thanks again to The Artisan Group.
