Started metalsmithing/jewelry when I was 16 and fell in love with the material. In 2000 I started at the Massachusetts College of Art and receiced my BFA with a major in Metals/Jewley in 2004. Since then it's been tough trying to get a full time job within my field or art for that matter but I continue to be loyal to my creative passion and work with what I can. I was lucky to land a part time job teaching in the metals department at the Worcester Center for Crafts in Worcester, Massachusetts. I enojoy meeting new metalsmiths or artists in general and find the internet a good way for me to stay connection to the art world.
