My need to create has taken many forms, through various media, but my greatest fascination has always been with glass: the vivid colours; the variety of textures; the way it comes to life and sparkles in the light. Unfortunately, rising three very active boys was not conducive to using glass as a creative outlet, but eventually the boys grew into men and risk management became less of an issue. It became safer to work with stained glass and mosaics, leading to classes in lampworking. Creating with glass became my "meditation" and relaxation of choice, with the obvious next step of jewellery classes and the merging of glass with metal.
Jewellery is for all occasions and it's up to you how and when you wear it. Each person sees things differently. Keeping this in mind, my designs are simple and somewhat organic, with a focus on texture, shape and colour. Silver, copper, titanium and niobium creations will often include my handmade glass beads and cabachons. No two pieces are identical, but one can be made to include your special view.
