"I started in the jewelry business almost 20 years ago, quite by accident.  At the time my husband and I were running a publishing company and I was creating handmade journals for poets.  As it was, I needed a necklace to wear to a birthday party for his cousin.  There was nothing in the stores that felt suitable for a fashion-forward, full-figured woman of color.  I took some of the supplies from the journals, made a pendant, and tied it around my neck some leather cord!  Voila! The rest is history as they say. 

​

I am so grateful for people who have supported my art over the years.  I have been privileged to adorn many beautiful people both locally and globally."
