I create leather and metal bracelets in a wide variety of styles and looks. Each piece is custom made, and I try to have a wide variety of "looks" to appeal to as many people as possible. I also have a line of designs for children, as well as holiday pieces.

My development as an artist is deeply rooted in my interests and creativity from my childhood. I always chose art classes over more traditional options like typing, and my HS art teacher remains a good friend to this day. I attended college for commercial art, then "life happened" and I somehow ended up with a career in horticulture. After moving to the Rehoboth area 11+ years ago, I started exploring ideas for additional income. A visit to a farmer's market in Chicago sparked my interest in jewelry design (I saw something I loved and said "I can do that"). My art has evolved into a specialization in bracelets using leather and metal components, designed for men, women, children, and anyone in-between. I find myself looking at what people are wearing whenever I'm out, trying to keep up with trends, and getting ideas from what I observe. I have a bit of an obsession with different leathers, always looking for different colors and patterns, then designing pieces around them. I'm a strong supporter of other specialized bead artists who create many of the components I utilize.
