This is my forth year teaching art.  I have a BFA in Metalsmithing & Jewelry from the University of North Texas. My passion is creating jewelry because of the ability that jewelry has to form an intimate and personal relationship with the wearer. I enjoy reading mystery novels as well as going to the movies. I am married and have 3 children; Megan, Alex, & Luke; who inspire me to create work that has a sense of playfulness & excitement.
