I consider myself a collector and have been one most of my life. I love anything old…charms, buttons, beads, fabric, paper, etc. To me, they are little bits of history. I currently live on an island in the Puget Sound but I grew up in Southern California in the 60’s. Childhood memories provide much inspiration and I believe my work reflects this. My pieces, currently jewelry, are all somewhat different and limited because I use old and new materials in creating each one.
