I am just starting to come into my own as a bench jeweler/
silversmith. About a year and a half ago, I decided to bite the
bullet, and do what I have dreamed of doing all my life. make
jewelry. With very limited schooling available in the Houston area, I
researched Google, YouTube, and and a couple of really great books.
These provided me with the knowledge and courage to begin my quest
for jewelry expressionism. Although I still have SO very much more to
learn, I am growing daily and know that ALL the hard work, sweat and
the many mistakes I make along the way will make me the best ben ch
jeweler/ silversmith that I can possibly be. The Ganoksin Project has
given me much knowledge. I appreciate all the talented and wonderful
jewelers who take the time to teach your skills to any who want to
learn. Thanks!

Designing is an art. I am struggling from dusk to dawn to give my
best. Because strugling is the key to success, and I believe
everyone must share knowledge and I believe in sharing
thoughts…

work mostly in silver and found materials, and love all the

I have been a jeweler since about 14 or 15 years of age. I have done
one apprenticeship as a blacksmith and two as a jeweler. One was an
apprenticeship at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts. I ran my own
jewelry business for almost 14 years and after a hiatus from jewelry
of about 10 years I am returning to the craft. I specialized in
reproductions or pieces made in the “styles” of antique (Deco, Arte
Nouveau and Victorian), Medieval and Ancient. As a practitioner of
these styles I have along the way become a bit of a “jewelry
historian”.
