I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my best friend and husband, Steve. We have one daughter, Brittney, who lives just down the street, so we get to see her often. I work full time at a local engineering firm.

In 2003, not long after discovering handmade beads and artistic jewelry, I entered the world of lampworking and never looked back. With the natural world as my inspiration, I constantly and purposefully build my skills to enhance my glass creations. When I first started making focal beads, I wanted to develop an organic style with a soft, elegant side. I started using soft flowing colors, cubic zirconia and a lot of transparent glass to achieve depth.

A few years ago, I started playing with the electroforming, and now often incorporate organic materials such as leaves and acorn caps in my bead and jewelry work.

My glasswork and jewelry juried into the Indiana Artisan program in 2008. I am an active member of the Indiana Bead Society (IBS) and Indiana Society of Lampwork and Art Glass Artists (ISLAGA).

Lampworking and jewelry design have brought me much joy including meeting wonderful people and forging new friendships that will last a lifetime.
