I specialize in unique, one-of-a-kind, sterling silver and 14K jewelry designs. Each piece is lovingly fabricated by hand using raw materials, or through the lost wax casting method. I work with clients to create custom pieces. Each piece is one of a kind, designed by me, I create my own Sterling Silver, 18K and 14K gold alloys that I fashion, mill, forge, fuse and braze into miniature sculptures for personal adornment. I select and set each stone, often performing my own lapidary work on select stones. This allows me complete contact and artistic connection with each piece of fine art jewelry from concept to collection. I teach silversmithing classes and jewelry education. I am an award winning artist and have been accepted to some of the most prestigious juried art shows in Florida.

Singing Stone was a working studio and gallery featuring my contemporary fine art jewelry, American craft, fine art and jewelry instruction. The gallery also exhibited and supported over 200+ local and regional artists’ work in a broad range of fine art and contemporary craft. I owned and managed a small retail business in Tampa's historic Ybor City. I worked directly with clients. I designed and installed art exhibits. I promoted the cultural arts, hosted events, and worked with artisans and crafters.
