I have been making jewelry for nearly 25 years now. During that time, I have taught jewelry workshops, organized several local and regional craft shows and participated in countless wholesale and retail venues as an exhibitor. Currently, I am a consultant for the craft section of the Fine Furnishings Shows in Providence and Milwaukee, nationally recognized exhibitions of contemporary craft.
Eight years ago, my husband Jeffery and I settled in Pawtuxet Village, just south of Providence, RI, with our two dachshunds, Oliver and Charlotte. Like my hometown in Maine, it is quiet and safe. I still carry a sketchbook wherever I go, because inspiration is unpredictable.
My current work is heavily influenced by my Scandinavian heritage, where clean lines, unadorned design and understatement are revered. Jewelry is most evocative when it makes a subtle statement, and it is much wiser to subtract elements rather than add them. It becomes an exercise in knowing when to stop.
