I started working in stained glass in 2000 while living in St. Paul, MN. I was drawn to this medium because of the play of light and color and the use of line and texture. I left my 15 year career in the graphic arts industry in the fall of 2003 to study Fine Arts. I developed an interest in metalsmithing and worked for a local jewelry artist. In 2004, I brought my love of glass and jewelry together to create a line of beautiful, wearable art.
