I started out but making jewelry because I couldn't find what I wanted to wear and didn't want to wear things everyone else was wearing. While I was working towards my BFA in Alt media at Webster University in St. Louis Mo, I spent time to figure out where Fine Art and Craft meet. All of that mixed with my love of vintage turned into the old and new mash up it is today. Many of the items I make are one of a kind, either because of the vintage materials or because of the gemstones I use.
