I have indulged my creative desires sampling many different media, but when I started bending wire, something really clicked; and so began my journey into the world of metal and glass. I strive to combine form and function to compose works that depict the juxtaposition of logic and art. My designs result from exploring the patterning of shapes; and they celebrate the beauty of order. I hope that their visual appeal attracts you, and their construction intrigues you.

I am an abnormally structured person, as artists go. I view each design as an evolving puzzle. I start by sketching designs on graph paper to work out the proportion, and proceed to draft plans to scale, sometimes working practice parts as I go. This is how I achieve the consistency of my components, which is required for their assembly. This development process is the true love of my work, although seeing the end result is quite gratifying as well.

The true love of my life, my husband Corey, is responsible for this happening. His financial support has allowed me the time to develop my work, but more importantly, his spiritual support helps me have the confidence to live my dream. Everyone should be so lucky to share such love.

I create my work both at home in Mesa and in Carefree, Arizona at Creative U; a fabulous jewelry and fused glass studio. You can find me there most days, so drop in for a visit. We're located at 7202 E. Cave Creek Rd. in the Carefree Studios, (480) 595-8500. It's a wonderful opportunity to view my latest pieces in person, as well as get an inside glimpse of how it all happens. (Chocolate time is at 3PM.) I look forward to seeing you there!

It is my desire that you enjoy my work, whether adorning your person, or the space around you. I feel that craftsmanship is really a celebration of humanity. In this world of mass production, supporting individualized art is something that you can really be proud of.
