Artist Bio:
I have been creating Art ever since I can remember.
I have studied Metalworking, Silver-Smithing, Collage & Art Marketing Workshops,
Through- out North East Ohio, Pennsylvania and Chicago to include the Baum school of Art in Allentown, Pa., Cleveland State University, Suburban Fine Art Center, Illinois and V rock shop in Canton, Ohio, with instructors Thomas Mann, Susan Lenart Kazmer and Claudine Hellmuth.
Artist Statement: In designing my found object / art jewelry, I continue to challenge what is “conceived as jewelry”. Incorporating found and recycled objects into one of a kind, wearable pieces of art, while also drawing inspiration from industrial designs as well as Native American Cultures. My collages illustrate the challenges and emotions I encounter being a woman and an artist.
