East Aurora, New York. USA
I create one-of-a-kind and limited edition nature inspired Art Jewelry using fine silver metal clay.I also create one-of-a-kind sterling jewelry.My background as a traditional silversmith helped me see the possibilities for adding texture in a different way to my jewelry with metal clay.
I have an MFA from RIT in Rochester NY and currently a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan in East Aurora, NY.
I have an extensive perennial garden to use as inspiration and work with metal clay slip.
