Self-taught goldsmith, enamelist and artisan jeweler using ancient and modern techniques to create exquisitely detailed jewelry for personal celebrations or corporate gifts. Author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Making Metal Jewelry," Alpha Books. Wall-mounted kiln-fired enamels and small copper sculptures represent ideas on a larger scale. Wedding/commitment ring classes in my studio.

How We Got Started

I've been in love with tiny things for as long as I can remember. I started making beaded jewelry close to thirty years ago. Quickly I moved towards making metal jewelry after taking a class at the Indianapolis Art Center. Later, I taught classes at the Indianapolis Art Center and other locations in the Unites States and France. But I'll never forget the class at the Art Center in which I came to understand the plastic, moveable, and malleable qualities of metal and how this quality still fascinates today.

(more) I have completely redesigned my website to make it easier for online shoppers to access my work securely. At the moment, I have my handcrafted metal jewelry online. I take appointments in my gallery, as always, for those who would like a more private viewing of my work, including my kiln-fired enamel paintings on copper. The typical First Friday monthly open house events, which have been packed with people in the past, are now reimagined to fit community guidelines for social-distanced safety. While I still host my events indoors, many artists are set up outdoors on the First Friday of the month, as long as the weather holds. In addition, I been hosting Facebook Live events, which have been super fun and well-received. As I make a lot of one-of-a-kind pieces, those are usually grabbed up during my Live events. I'm super happy that my customers still yearn for handmade items.  Below is an image of a custom made hand-carved Palladium White and Yellow Gold wedding band.
