My new Tube Strand necklaces and earrings are now in my online shop! My favorite part about this design is that the wearer can chose different ways to wear the necklaces. Shift the necklace a bit around the neck or form a second loop and the joints between tubes shift and form different shapes. Quantities will be limited with these for now as I'm building stock for Ann Arbor Art Fair next month. So what is in the shop is probably all I'll have until the end of July.

I am more dependent than ever on calendars right now. I have a good bit going on and conversely dwindling brain space. I like the paper calendars that you write on. Call me old fashioned but I just haven't gotten the knack of keeping a calendar on my phone. I keep one in the kitchen, a very detailed one at my desk, a jewelry order only one and in my studio…an inspiring one on the wall right at my work table.

So I thought it appropriate since I am Friday's featured artist for Smithsonian Craft2Wear to post a short bio. and the (ever so infrequent) portrait shot. I was born in 1968 in Baltimore, MD but grew up in a tiny Pennsylvania town, the eldest child of a high school art teacher and the most encouraging mother who thought I could do anything I set my mind to.

Located in the town of Penn State, this is the gallery space for The Art of Alliance of Central PA who's main offices are located…

After a good bit of computer wrangling, my new work, in a bunch of new colors, finally made it to the shop late in the day Wednesday. So far the reception has been like the weather here - warm. Apparently my struggles with posting was due to our new modem and not our computer which requires another trip to our cable company for a replacement which I must admit is SO much better than having to buy a whole new computer. So I'm choosing to be grateful. If you have the time I'd love your opinion…

Over the past year I've had quite a few unexpected events in my life one of which were the shop contacts I made at the ACC Baltimore show. ...
