 Living high in the peaceful Davis Mountains with my horse, dog and cat has inspired me to create in many mediums !

My sculpture and jewelry has won awards from the East coast to the West !  After an international competition, my sculpture, " ADAGIO",  was exhibited at the Kentucky Derby Museum and my jewelry has won honors for many years in a show at the Equine Expo Art Show in California !

Photography is another love of mine and my work has been published in the internationally distributed magazines, Cat Fancy, Dog Fancy, and Bird Talk.  When I sold a photo of my daughter and her horse to a feed company, we took a trip to the Badlands down to Santa Fe.

Creating sterling silver and gemstone jewelry is my passion.  Horses are often the theme in my work, but I try to understand the best way to show off the beauty of the gemstone I have chosen to work with.  My gemstones come from all over the world but my favorites are the gorgeous agates I gathered on rock hunts in Mexico !  I have learned to cut and polish my own stones and to see their beauty brought out by these processes in very exciting.
