Since the 1990s, my career has been as a writer, author, and visual artist. Recently, I've been self-soothing by making jewelry, gifting or trading it with friends. I love sourcing materials through my travels, estate and garage sales, gem fairs, and wherever I can find interesting, beautiful objects. Then comes the obsessive part, where I will toil over a piece, sometimes for days, until it has just the right look and feel.

Like all my art projects, I post my jewelry to social media. When people asked to buy my bracelets, I initially resisted. Like many artists, I don't enjoy the business side of things. But the more jewelry I made, the more I realized it makes sense for them to land in the hands (on the wrists) of people who want to wear them instead of cluttering up my studio. So here I am, having a real go at it.

I've priced my work according to my material costs, however I am open to sliding scale or trades with other artists. What's most important is that the bracelets end up with folks who will love them, so don't be shy, reach out!
