Jewelry

While primarily a painter, I also love making jewelry.  Starting as a knitter of wool and other fibers, I quickly moved to
knitting and crocheting with wire -- 14 K gold, sterling silver, copper, and even stainless steel.  The majority of my jewelry incorporates
wire elements as well as semi-precious gems, natural stones, pearls, shells, fiber, and even found objects.

Please scroll down to see a selection of my recent creations.  You may see my jewelry in person at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts.
