The process of making jewelry brings joy into my life.  Being able to get into a meditative zone where time stands still is pure bliss.

I was an art teacher for over twenty years with the hearing impaired.

Presently, I am a marriage and family therapist utilizing art therapy techniques and the creative process to enhance clients’ mental health and awareness.

 I have worked with stained glass for over twenty years.

Moving to the North Coast of California in early 2004, I was enthralled to be able to find gorgeous stones on the beach.  Discovering beautiful rocks and Agates made me feel like a kid in a candy store.  My jewelry is created with the experience of the beach in mind…and how good it feels to be there.

Combining found stones provides a design unique to the person who decides to own one.

Enjoy the “eye candy.”

Intarsia is the combination of a variety of stones producing a “one-of-a-kind” appeal.  The beauty of different stones complements one another with texture, design and color.

The marrying of stones creates a unique quality and appreciation of the differences in the individual characteristics of the stones.
