- I had a wonderful upbringing in Germany where I was born and was blessed with a mother who taught me to appreciate even the littlest things in life. I live in a country where possibilities are still endless, have a husband who supports what I am doing and we have a lovely daughter who is the best thing right after ice cream. To top all that, I also have a job that I can't wait to get to.
- A friend introduced me to the art of jewelry making in 1991; the same year I moved to New Orleans. I have continued to educate myself futher in silversmithing ever since. My most valued teachers are "Dr. Trial and Professors Error". Both never say a word but are sure to be on my side whenever anything goes wrong.
- I do not plan out my jewelry, but approach my workbench with a basic idea and work on a piece until I am satisfied with its final outcome.
- Hammering, pressing, rolling and reticulating are the techniques I use to texture the metal and to give it a touchable, earthy feel.
- I use semi precious stones and also beautiful fused glass cabachons (which I make myself) to adorn my creations.
- My main goal is to create something unique. Just like people, we are all different... various shapes and sizes, color and texture, but still come together in a beautiful way.
- My work is as "one of a kind" as the person wearing it!
