About Me

Living in such a vibrant and beautiful locale as Asheville NC, I find inspiration everywhere. From the mountains to the eclectic fashions worn by locals, my garden, the birds at the feeder, or the sunlight in my kitchen: color, design, and texture regularly influence my designs.

After receiving my BFA in ceramics from Miami University of Ohio, I relocated to Asheville in 1995. Via many part-time jobs and an opportunity to further my education at Penland School, I was able to establish a personal pottery studio creating functional porcelain tableware. But over a decade ago, I followed my passion for making jewelry and transitioned my business focus from pottery to jewelry. Since then, I continue to create designs that are beautiful, unique, inspiring, versatile, and solicit compliments everywhere worn.
