Sterling and fine silver jewelry; Tiffany-style panels, suncatchers, 3D creations; holiday decor; photo notecards
A life-long beachcomber and collector of bits of history, I enjoy playing with my finds, and creating unique creations while upcycling them. The size, shape and color determines how I will proceed. I use seaglass and sea pottery in Sterling and fine silver jewelry. I particularly enjoy adding organic textures to my pieces. The larger wonky shapes of beach finds, plus odds and ends collected over the years I may utilize in Tiffany-style panels, suncatchers, or whimsical 3D items. My collections also are the inspiration for my photo notecards. A retired art educator, with many skills under my belt, I often go on new tangents, try new techniques. I hope others enjoy my connection to history in my work, sense of humor and love of creating.
