Graduated Alma College, Alma, Michigan. Awarded a B.F.A., concentration in painting with exploration of automotive lacquers on parchment paper.
Complete a 3 year jewelry apprenticeship. My passion for creating in the third dimension begins, I immediately connect with the tools, the materials and the form of expression.
The creation of small scale precious metal sculpture begins. Unique Objet’s d’art plus precious metal sculptural jewelry are carried by Nieman Marcus and on Madison Avenue.
Exploration with new found materials and the art of assemblage was the catalyst behind the next chapter. This work first took shape with wall relief narratives of cast, fabricated and found objects,
A time for spreading my wings with full immersion into larger scale steel sculpture as well as the creation of objects of function for the home.
Circling back to my jewelry roots at this time. The evolution in carving wax models for jewelry designs morphs into sculpting limestone.
Today my sculpture returns to exploration of new issues with new materials and my jewelry has shifted to Art Deco/ architectural.
