Since I was very young I always loved collecting and working with semi-precious stones--finding ways to polish and enhance their beauty. I found a way to funnel this enjoyment into creating jewelry from the stones I have always loved. I began collecting beads made from these stones, as well as those made from silver, pewter, gold, and glass. As this collection grew, so did my ideas! As I began to wear these pieces of jewelry, people began to request that I make jewelry for them, and thus, I began a new career in making unique jewelry. I also have a career in music therapy, another of my artistic loves, working with special needs children and adolescents. To visit my music therapy website please click here.
