INSTRUCTOR BIO:I started crafting glass enamel jewelry in 2008, but I have been creating artwork with all types of materials throughout my life. I refined my creative instincts at Syracuse University with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts. My love of color drives my work. It’s so much fun to experiment with different combinations—the warm and relaxing hues of summer; crisp, cool blues and grays of winter; bright jewel tones and soft neutrals.
My studio in Scottsdale, AZ, is my happy place, where I design and handcraft all of my jewelry. I enjoy watching each piece slowly transform from a simple sketch in my notebook to a glittering new pendant, earring, or cuff link. Follow me on Instagram to see my latest designs and get a peek at the process behind the art.
