Welcome! Look around my website to see the glass beads and jewelry that I create, the things that inspire me, and what’s for sale in my online shop.

I live in Nevada’s high desert at the base of the Ruby Mountains, and my work is very much “nature-inspired.” I enjoy a back and forth play between metalsmithing and melting and manipulating glass in a torch flame to fabricate art jewelry. Collectible handmade beads and finished jewelry pieces are available in my online shop.
