After spending over 30 years in corporation trying to climb the coporate ladder, and being told that even with a Master's degree from the University of Denver I didn't meet the qualifications to fit most upper jobs and over qualified to meet lower jobs. I begin to follow my passion, I have always loved making jewelry and designing leather into purses, pouches and chess boards that this was a calming comfort for me.

My love for these art forms have allowed me to design, be creative and share what I make with others. I made the choice to be more human, connected, and mature. The gift that I would like to share with all that I meet is that I am living life and enjoying it. Using my abilities to negotiate multiple priorities and be flexible in art designs. I show this in my beading, lampwork, silver smithing and leather works.
