Biographical Info

I completed my jewelry education over thirty years ago. The first formal jewelry I created was amber from the Baltic Sea, and I’ve been working with amber ever since. Pieces of amber are selected for their color, clarity, and individuality. I prefer larger forms of jewelry and due to its light weight, amber is ideal for this use. I handcraft the metal individually, matching the amber and the design. My jewelry is known for its high quality and craftsmanship. Each piece is a representation of a unique form of design. All larger pieces contain hollow metal.___While every piece I craft is unique, because of the individuality of the amber that I use, certain themes repeat themselves throughout my work. I use silver and organic material such as leather for settings and necklaces, and I also have pieces made from gold and other precious metals.___I have lived in the U.S. for twenty years and I’ve been doing art shows since 1992. During this time, I’ve received over fifty awards, including “Best of Show”, “Award of Excellence”, “First Place Jewelry” and merit awards. Please stop by my festival booth to see the beauty of my handcrafted work, and to examine the quality of the work for yourself!
