I started making jewelry as a teen with my grandfather in his copper smithing workshop. 

 

I got my BFA from the School for American 

Craftsman, in Jewelry and Metalsmithing.  After college, I headed west and landed in Seattle. 

I lived there for decades, making jewelry,

 doing festivals, and working for other crafts people.

 

My family and I have enjoyed living in Corvallis now for the last five years. I’ve been vending my jewelry for the last 22 years at the Oregon Country Fair in 

Venita, Oregon.
