I was born and raised in a suburb of St. Louis. I attended Parkway Central High School in Chesterfield, MO and went on to attend college at the Univeristy of Missouri, Columbia.
I started making jewelry after my father's retirement and my interest in rocks and minerals lead to finding a way to display them. Jewelry was a beautiful solution. My interest in making jewelry came from him, but I have also taken classes at the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts in Young Harris, Georgia. The classes I have taken are silver smith, wire wrapping and advanced wire wrapping. These classes have helped me to design my own pieces. I have also had many private lessons with my dad in chaining. I recently taught classes in chaining and wire wrapping at a craft camp in Salem, MO. My pieces have been on display in several local shows and are currently on display in the Manitou Gallery in California, MO. Wire Diva

After
college I married a farmer and moved to rural Missouri where we back
ground 250 to 300 calves a year. We also put up a hay crop. Aside
from raising my two children, both in college, I have taken up several
hobbies including making jewelry, breeding West Highland White Terriers,
gardening, camping, fishing and bowling.
