I was born in Saskatchewan, Canada. I relocated to California in 1964 and became a USA citizen in 1978. My artistic life path has taken many turns. I started knitting and selling baby booties and caps at the age of 10, I was designing and sewing some of my own clothing age of 12. I have explored pottery, weaving, leatherwork, leaded glass, and watercolors.

I fondly recall my artistically talented mother saying, “Art is a story worth telling.” I found my heart’s story when I discovered precious metal work. I began my studies of metal fabrication in California at the Irvine Fine Arts Center. The Revere Goldsmith School in San Francisco allowed me to hone my art. I continue to take classes of interest in and around my studio. I believe if you learn one new thing at any class, it is a gift!

I am drawn to the quiet balance of the Asian culture, inspired by beautiful colored stones and the love of pushing the boundaries with silver. I create my pieces “to reflect a woman’s innate individuality, beauty, and mystery.” My collections are unique, bold & provocative.

They sell in galleries and museum shops across the United States and Canada. I have won numerous awards for my art.
