Biography
I've always been artsy and in the 1970's I began to paint. Over the years I branched out into various artistic endeavors, mainly jewelry making. About 20 years ago I sold my whimsical designs in different local galleries and handmade artisan shows. After becoming a cancer survivor 12 years ago I wanted to do something more creative by using more metals which led me to experimenting with sheet metal which I cut into forms, triple sand and hammer or design with different dremel techniques.
I chose to work with pure non refined sustainable environmentally conscious "green" metals which can be recycled continually. And, I only use those that are made in the USA.
Pure non toxic stainless steel which is hypo allergenic and will not oxidize. Pure raw brass is antimicrobial as well as pure aluminum which has a 99% value of being anti bacterial, and I do finish finish most of my raw brass pieces with a water based non toxic glaze to keep them from oxidizing but I can remove it upon request. Hematite is said to focus energy and emotions for balance between the body, mind and spirit. All of my necklaces can be made adjustable by adding jump rings along the chain to shorten the length or adding a chain extender for length They also make great layering pieces to add to other necklaces. I am totally self taught and enjoy continuing finding new techniques to add to my jewelry.
