Born and raised in Regina, SK, I have
been involved in arts and crafts for as long as I can remember. I love the
challenge of taking things and transforming them into other things! I have had
many creative interests over the years including cross‑stitch and Hardanger
embroidery, crochet, designing and making teddy bears, origami as well as
drawing and painting.
It was after my step-father had taken a
jewellery class that my love for making jewellery was born. I was fascinated by
the pieces he made! Several years later, as a gift, my mother signed me up for
that same jewellery class. Completely hooked, I fell in love with working with
silver and it has become my passion! It is fascinating to see how raw metal sheet
and wire can be transformed through various methods into a unique piece of art
that can be worn!
I began taking lampwork classes shortly
after that and I was captivated by the way glass is transformed from a simple glass
rod into a wonderful one-of-a-kind bead. My lampwork beads and cabochons are
also used in my jewellery.
I am a founding member of JewelleryWon
and have recently become a Juried Member of the Saskatchewan Craft Council. I
continue to take classes and work in my Regina studio.
