My love of jewelry making began when I was given my great grandmother's Apache Bead Loom. I was about 10 years old. In 1994 I discovered a local bead shop and rekindled my love of beading! I began selling my beaded jewelry at local craft shows and started making my own glass beads. I also took a silversmithing class and learned to cut and polish stones to set in my jewelry. Now most of my work is entirely handmade in my studio. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation from the design.
