a little bit about me...
For as long as I can remember I have been a maker, when I was a child, it was small drawings of my beloved cat and snow forts in my grandmother's backyard.
As an adult I much prefer a pillow fort over the cold snow, but I still find myself making little drawings of all of the beloved things around me.
While pursuing a degree in Sculptural Glass at Alfred University in 2004, I met the love of my life and partner in crime. After graduating, and moving from snowy western New York to sunny California, we got married and have been making art, furniture, good food, and a happy little life together ever since.
I have been making and selling jewelry for as long as I can remember. I can recall selling my handmade treasures at small craft shows and art fairs since the age of 8, with the great help and support of my wonderful mom. My little budding business carried me through high school as my summer job and helped pay for college, today it helps my husband and I realize our dreams as artists, supports our travels, and my newest adventure... graduate school.
