I’ve always been artsy and creative. After becoming a cancer survivor 16 ago I wanted to do something more creative to keep myself “sustainable”, and now work with sheet metal which are pure non refined, sustainable environmentally conscious “green” metals, which are recyclable. All of these metals are sourced and forged only in the USA. I use pure fine Aluminum and pure fine Stainless steel which are both hypo allergenic and will not oxidize for my silver designs, and pure Raw brass which is antimicrobial for my gold designs. I also continue to design other jewelry using gemstones, blown glass and healing crystals. I am a Board Trustee for the Beachwood Arts Council whose mission is to encourage the development and appreciation of the visual and performing arts in Northeast Ohio. I am also the Chair of the music committee and arrange diverse programs for our Sunday Sounds Series.
