I create jewelry inspired by the stones- their color, texture and possibilities. Each piece of wearable art is one of a kind, but feel free to ask for something similar if the piece you choose is sold; I can usually find similar stones.

My ceramic techniques include hand building, sculpting, and pit firing using combinations of ceramics, semi-precious stones and various mixed media. I tend to be inspired and spontaneously guided to the finished piece by texture, form and elements found in nature. As a professional makeup artist, my first love is figurative sculpture yet I have been experimenting more recently with abstract pieces.

I live in Silver Spring, Maryland with a house full of muses: dogs, a cat, and my very creative- sometimes competing but always accommodating husband. Any animal hair found in my work was “placed” there and brings special luck to the new owner.
