The challenge of assembling elements into a beautiful, polished product has enabled me to pursue many enjoyable artistic applications.

I come to my glass artwork through a 30-year career as an Emmy Award winning television producer, writer, and editor.

My development as a jewelry artist parallels the rise of the glass bead movement in this country. Since 1990, I’ve been inspired to create jewelry with beautiful glass. This leads me to include vintage and contemporary glass beads to produce artwork that transcends the moment.

Glass is an exciting medium. It embodies the qualities of color, energy, and life.

I look forward to talking with you about my reflective creations.
