Jerome, Arizona is an old copper mining town with a rich history. Now a haven for artists, it holds spectacular views and an inspiring environment.

For most of my life, I have been in the fashion industry. I was a seamstress for many well known rock and roll bands in the 60's and 70's. Names included members of Derek and the Dominoes (Eric Clapton), Wings, and Frank Zappa.

My clothing and jewelry have been carried in stores as diverse as the Smithsonian Institute and  the Museum of Modern Art gift shops as well as being featured in special boutique areas of Burdine's and  Macy's department stores. In the mid- 80s, I was asked to join the prestigious Fashion Group International. I now sell through a variety of specialty stores throughout the US and Japan (see store listings).

In the 80s, I took a one semester silversmithing course from a woman who had learned in Sri Lanka. She taught me the old world ways cutting and soldering. I devoured books on every technique I could, working in anodized aluminum and thermoplastics, creating color by any method I could find. I studied enameling and patinas, learning how heat works with the metals and how glass is manipulated.
