    I live amidst the beautiful wooded environment of the foothills of
    the Sierra Nevada Mountains in northern California.  My jewelry
    designs reflect the small wonders that I encounter in my daily life.
     As a professional wood sculptor in the past, I like dimension in my
    work.  I do a little bit of wax work, but I prefer working directly
    with the metal. All of  the shapes in my current work are formed
    through chasing and repousee'.  I use shakudo and gold together for
    their wonderful contrasting qualities, and I cut most of my own
    stones.  Details are important to me, so I strive for excellence in
    my craftmanship and I design the back sides of my pieces to be as
    beautiful as the fronts.  Often I set stones in hidden places,
    create original clasps, and make each chain individually.
