I was born and raised in Iowa and am a graduate of the University of Iowa in Related Art.

I see designs for my jewelry in nature, animals, and the vibrant Arizona desert. Colors for my work are chosen from the Arizona sunsets, desert flowers, mountains and Native American influences.

I design and make all my jewelry as one of a kind.

My passion is bead embroidery which allows me to create unique pieces of jewelry.

I work to understand the relationship between art & nature and how to apply this to my designs.
