Creating jewelry has been a passion of Lisa's since the mid seventies, working predominantly in sterling silver, gold, and gemstones. With the desire for more color she incorporated enamels into her works of fine art. With the use of enamels I feel such freedom of expression, through imagery, symbols, and the vibrancy of color. I enjoy creating stories in many of my pieces, portraying moods, and making jewelry that is fun to wear.

Lisa now lives and maintains a studio in Coquille, Oregon. Primarily self-taught, she learned her basic metal skills in high school and then attended the Cranbrook Academy of arts in 1976. She received the first place award at the 1996 Metal Arts Show held in San Francisco, California. Her work may be seen in galleries throughout the west, with the largest collection at the Hawthorne Gallery, in Big Sur, California.
