A New England native, I first studied studio art at Colby College and the University of Maine at Orono, focusing on printmaking, etching and block prints. A twist of fate sent me to North Carolina where I trained to become a dental lab technician. Later, I returned to New England and, in 1985, while working for a dentist in Nashua, NH, took a jewelry-making class at the New Hampshire Institute of Art. My technical skill with metals translated happily to the new art form. Then and there I fell in love with silver.
A juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen since 1991, I strive to advance my skills by exploring new styles and techniques. I find inspiration everywhere and love finding ways to incorporate the new into my work. Each new piece is another step along my path.
