I grew up in Northern Illinois and today I call Colorado my home. The rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains captured my heart. My life is shared with my best friend, soul mate and husband Dan, who is a talented software engineer, photographer, and potter.

Throughout my life I have studied a variety of mediums. My mother insisted that I learn how to sew.  I have tried my hand at painting, created stained glass windows and fused glass works for our home. Once I discovered metalwork, I knew I had found my passion.

My education, a B.S. in Computer Science, lends itself to the problem solving I employ as I work with metal. I consider myself a geek by day, artist by night.

I have immense gratitude for receiving the gift to be an artist.
