“ My jewelry is made in part from re-purposed materials. Silver-plated trays given as wedding gifts, copper wire from a building project, brass and sometimes aluminum bowls, are fabricated into one-of-a-kind jewelry. I love the patina achieved by using material that has a history, and I love that something others once thought had no value has been turned into artistic jewelry that will garner complements for the wearer every time. This is jewelry with a mind of its own, for unconventional women. “

Re purposed metal with a new mission. 

My jewelry is fabricated from recycled metals I find at thrift shops, I occasionally will use purchased metal, but prefer the patina of metal that has a history. Silver plate trays once given as wedding gifts, stored and then abandoned are crafted into one of a kind pieces that will bring attention to the wearer every time they are worn. In 2010 I received a grant from the Italian Cultural Institute of Louisville, KY to go to Florence, Italy and take a two week course of intensive study in the fabrication of studio art jewelry, at the world known Alchimia jewelry school. Jewelry resulting from this study is in the “Firenze Collection”. I show my one-of-a-kind jewelry at selected art shows, and in several galleries across the US.  A necklace of mine will be part of a collection called Ferrous at the prestigious gallery Velvet da Vinci in San Francisco. Opening for the show will be on March 1, 2013. "
