A modern day expeditioner, I practice my own version of archeology, scanning the
terrain for intriguing bits and pieces that present themselves. I am most
inspired by nature and its melodic effects on the human spirit with my intention
being to offer a simple, yet organic, approach to viewers in my work. Passionate
about repurposing everyday objects, I am committed to reinventing normal into
something eclectic, expressive, lighthearted and potentially spiritually
stimulating all at once.
Having traveled all over the United States and internationally to offer creative instruction, I find respite in my home studio in the valleys of Southern Oregon where I work from home - continually influenced by the view out my studio windows, witty comments from my young daughters, and the ebb and flow of creative energy. My own book featuring my found object jewelry titled "Semiprecious Salvage" arrived in bookstores February 2008.
