Following twenty-two years in a corporate career, I finally embraced my artistic talent and discovered that my true passion lies in jewelry making. Ideas come to me through chance circumstance and very often in unexpected ways. My inspiration emerges from all aspects of my life and surrounding environment. Everything from unique architecture to a warm conversation with a friend can be the motivation for my next piece. Oftentimes I find myself examining daily situations and the world around me and how I can interpret them artistically.   I have found that my finest designs were originally thought to be a mistake. As in life, it goes to show that you never really know what to expect, which to me, is the most exciting part.
