Years ago my mother told me that when I was a little girl I didn’t like having my hands dirty – I was always wanting her to wash them off. The irony, of course, is that today I love gardening and working in clay most of all. I am intrigued with nature and the natural elements of the earth.
I've always been drawn to pottery and was originally interested in using the wheel and slab roller to create functional or artsy pieces. In time I found I liked working small, and jewelry was a perfect fit. It gives me the opportunity to work in ceramic clay, as well as metal clays, and then add gemstones, vintage beads, and unique finds to create something fun.
