I grew up in Carmel Valley, California. I started beading when I was about twelve years old. I learned lapidary and silver smith work in high school.  

While raising three girls I would pull out the bead boxes and help them create jewelry for themselves and their friends. Creating jewelry is my passion and to have others enjoy my work is the next best thing. I use semi-precious stones and pearls with sterling silver or brass and glass seed beads. Many of my pieces are so durable you can swim, bathe, sleep and just leave them on. Enjoy,
