I create jewelry, collage and assemblage using metal, paper, wax and found objects. I am inspired by ancient jewelry and artifacts. I am also influenced by random and temporary fleeting patterns in nature, industrial and urban settings. When I am not making art I love teaching art classes in my studio.
The kids that have grown up taking classes with me are my biggest inspiration.
I live in Corvallis, Oregon, with my husband, two kids, two dogs, ten chickens and fifty thousand bees.
