History

I worked from home until 1987 when I opened my store in Mission Hills, thirteen years later, I moved my store to the design district in Solana Beach on Cedros Ave. My apprentices were with Jerry Garrison, an Native America Indian Silversmith, Valerie ST.Gaudens for fine gold work. I was mentored by Art consultant Dorothy Beasley. I have exhibited at the Del Mar Fair for many years and won multiple awards. I have studied jewelry making at community colleges, The London Hall University, the Revere Jewelry school in San Francisco and the Gemological Institute of America, and the Wild Acres school of jewelry in North Carolina.
