As a retired High School Science teacher, my hobbies have turned into a business. Photography became serious for me in college when I first started in film. I eventually moved into digital photography and with my love of nature, travel, and the outdoors, I began selling my photography and participating in shows in order to share that love with others. Jewelry design came later when I learned how to make Cancer Awareness bracelets for a fundraiser. I realized I loved creating jewelry that I myself would love to wear. As I refined my skills, I started to work exclusively in gemstones, silver, and gold. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind design. Along with my husband, I participate in local shows where all of my designs can be found.
