Artist statement
I have found my muse in the word 'reflection,' and it has informed all of my artistic and personal choices. Reflection, with its dual distinct meanings: meditative--the inner and spiritual journey. And as in the world of physics: light striking back against a surface--my personal quest for the source of the light that illuminates my path through this life.

Combining the qualities of inner light with the play of light bouncing off metal, I transform gold, silver, pewter, gems, stones, shells, pearls, beads and insect wings into soft, delicate shapes which evoke some of nature’s gentlest images: waves, wings, seeds, moonbeams. The materials are hammered, cast, fabricated and formed, and often the "spirit" of the work is reflected in its name…Unfolding, Hope Flowering, New Beginnings. Each piece is a reflection of my inner journey and does not reflect current trends, but rather deep currents of meaning I am searching for in my life.

What I create is a reflection of the inspiration I find within, and the beauty that surrounds me. The designs come from a deep place in me, and I hope to touch a corresponding deep place in others.

Biography
I took my first jewelry classes when I was in college, and over the years I never stopped making jewelry and learning new techniques. When I got married I moved to Germany where I studied for 2 ½ years with master goldsmith, Lutz Quambusch.

Galleries in Germany and the United States have shown my work, including

-Gallerie L’Offevre, Dusseldorf, Germany
-Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, Madison, WI
-Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center, Spring Green, WI
-Mission Houses Museum, Honolulu, HI

As well as galleries in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maine and more.

Currently I show my jewelry in Galleries in Chicago and around Wisconsin, and in my working studio in an Amish log cabin near Spring Green, which is open to the public.
