I believe that jewelry should go well beyond “special occasions,” which is one of the reasons why I love beadwork. My designs range broadly from “fun to formal,” but even the formal pieces can be worn anywhere and with nearly anything.

A beaded scarf looks great with a little black dress as well as a pair of jeans. I want my jewelry to be worn because it makes a person feel good – regardless of the occasion.

Foundational to my designs are very small and simple seed beads, from there I will incorporate crystals, gemstone beads and occasionally bugle beads. Even when limiting myself to the types of beads I incorporate, I have a nearly infinite range of possibilities for shapes, textures and color combinations.
