The Current Collection

I am located in beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania and am a member of the AOY Art Center, BucksArts, the New Hope Arts Center, the Tyler Park Center for the Arts and a participant in Artist Sunday. Several of my pieces may also be found in the Michener Art Museum Gift Shop located in Doylestown, PA. As a retired graphic designer who formerly worked in the corporate world, I am now happy to be using my creativity to design and construct my own collection of contemporary, romantic jewelry. As a young child, my grandmother and mother taught me to knit. And I knit for many years with fiber. When I discovered an article online about how to knit and crochet jewelry with artist wire, I was hooked! I am drawn to the simplicity of the wire weave. But when I do embellish the wire, I often strive for a randomness that gives the appearance that surprising little treasures washed ashore accidentally tangled in a shimmering net. As well as using glass of varying shapes, colors and sizes, I am inspired by the natural beauty of gemstones and shell chips combined with the luster of pearls. I am also exploring incorporating my own plant based beads and using repurposed materials in my designs. Nature and the sea have long been a source of inspiration and are often sought after as a retreat to restore calm, revive and strengthen. Many semiprecious stones have also been attributed with properties that are said to do the same. But sometimes simply wearing a favorite piece of jewelry can lift my spirits!
