About the Process
I make an effort to revel in the wonders of nature in some way ever day. Whether it is noticing the colors of a lizard scurrying away, or seeing a new shade of pink in the evening sky. By allowing myself to take the time to notice, my creative spirit is both refreshed and inspired.
I have been handcrafting jewelry, gifts and accessories professionally for more than 30 years. I have worked in many mediums and have always been the most entranced with wire, metal, beads and stones. Working with a very limited budget in my early years, caused me to look for new ways to reuse, repurpose, and upcycle vintage finds, beads etc, which I still enjoy today. I am always exploring new techniques and ways of finishing metals. I love the patina process of changing the colors and finishes of metals. Every new batch is slightly different and every new outcome inspires new designs.
I want people to smile when they see my work, whether it’s a sun face on a salt shaker, a butterfly on a bookmark or a cactus and coyote dangling from their ears. The message I hope to convey is that the world we live in is full of color and love and natural beauty, and it should be noticed and celebrated often.
