About Me

I have always been artistic but it was not until after my grandmother passed away... that I found my love as a Jewelry Artist. It was something she wanted to do but never got the chance too. Although I've taken it to a higher level then what she was going to do... but I know if ever started playing with wire... she would never have put it down. LOL

But I've been married for 15yrs (since 1993) and we have 2 wonderful babes. Austin (7) and Desiree (3). And they both love playing with mommies Pretty Pretties as Desi calls them. My son has already started pounding on copper wire.

How many years have you been designing jewelry?

Almost 3 yrs. I started in Nov of 2005 and started doing wire-sculpturing Jan of 2006 and have been hooked ever since.

Did you go to school to learn jewelry design?

No, I'm self taught. I have a friend in Canada who makes wire art and after I bought a pendant from her.. I couldn't stop studing it until I decided to give it a try myself.

Do you have a favorite jewelry designer (other then yourself...)

Yes several... and I'll list them out later. ;-)
