I have been making jewelry for over 45 years. I apprenticed with Elfstone Silver and Gold (based in Cape Cod, Mass) for two years, and loved learning about jewelry making. In 1978 I moved to Davis, California and started up my own business. I joined the Artery in 1979 and have been a member ever since. I taught Jewelry making, Jewelry Casting and even paper making at the Silo Craft Center from 1978-1984. In 1984 we moved to Nevada City. I have done many art and craft shows over the years in several states. Jewelry making is my passion.
