I love my life as a jewelry artist, since it gives me an opportunity to meet so many wonderful people at art festivals and fits nicely with my love of travel. I started making jewelry as a teenager just for fun. I never lost my interest in creating jewelry designs even though my professional life took me down many varied paths including everything from helping others as a psychotherapist for many years to working in the computer field as a software tester. My artistry showcases unique gemstones and shells with my original style of delicate sculptured wire swoops giving you a connection to nature with each piece.

I became interested in creating art jewelry when I realized how much I enjoyed helping my wife present her designs in her booth at art festivals. I experienced a rejuvenation of spirit while being out in the open air and meeting so many wonderful people. With my background in engineering, it was not surprising that I, too, became interested in designing and making my own jewelry pieces.

We now travel extensively throughout the western U.S., developing our designs and gathering many beautiful materials to bring you the pieces you now see. We personally hand craft each unique item using the highest quality precious metals, gemstones, and shells. We enjoy working with unusual gemstones and focus on highlighting the unique quality of each stone to provide you with truly one-of-a-kind wearable art.

Thank you very much for taking time to learn about us and about our artistry.
