Designing is in my blood.  It is my passion.  It is a part of everything I do or see.  Architecture and color inspire me, as evidenced by my style and the rare and unusual colored gemstones and pearls I incorporate into my pieces of 18k gold, which I make in my Laguna Beach studio.  Working in my field for over thirty years, I use no molds, but rather hand-fabricate each piece, making it all one-of-a-kind.

After attending Wayne State University, I studied at the Society of Arts and Crafts (now the College for Creative Studies in Detroit), and then the Laguna Beach Institute of Art (now the Laguna College of Art and Design), as well as the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco, although I am mostly self-taught as a goldsmith.

I have exhibited in many venues across the country and have won many awards, as well, including the American Gem Trade Association's highly-coveted Spectrum Award.  My work is availabe at the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts during the summer, where I have exhibited since 1988.  I am also available throughout the year, in Laguna Beach, by appointment.
