Here on the west coast of Florida I spend much of my time in the studio handcrafting sterling silver into jewelry. I have been making jewelry for 18 years; working with my hands and seeing the designs take form is something I really enjoy.

I like to make jewelry that is asymmetrical and one of a kind and I find that sea glass is perfect for that. I have sea glass from the Caribbean and Hawaii and many beaches in between. The free form and organic nature of the sea glass inspire me to create jewelry that is as unique as each piece of glass. The colors are soft and stand out beautifully when set in silver.

I fabricate the settings in a manner that frames the glass with a silver edge. Most pieces are designed so that light passes through and illuminates the glass. The connecting links and jumprings and clasps are all handmade. I sign my work with a small broken arrow, a symbol for peace.

In addition to the sea glass I also have a line of daisy chain jewelry. These pieces are bright and cheerful, lightweight but strong in their construction. The necklaces and bracelets are chains of hammered links in varying sizes connecting daisies. The flowers are cast in sterling silver and embellished by hand one at a time.
