I began making gold and silver jewelry in 2001 after my sister, Ann, was diagnosed with cancer. Her diagnosis motivated me to switch from accounting to a more creative field. In 2017 I was injured by a confused driver and was unable to continue working in metals so I transitioned to beading. Then I decided I wanted to make purses so I have been creating one of a kind handmade purses since 2018. I use a variety of materials including silk paper that I make, felt, semi precious stones, shells, glass, pearls and beads. Thanks for looking. .
