I create my jewelry for others to enjoy and cherish as heirlooms for personal, special reasons and it is my passion.

Copper wire art and jewelry. I absolutely love and admire the many different things that you can do with just pieces of wire. The infinite level of creativity is endless. I really enjoy creating intricate pieces of statement woven jewelry using 28 gauge wire and 18g wire. I also love hammering 14gauge copper core wire into unique shapes for suncatcher art pieces. I have been consistantly playing with wire for 10 plus years.
Where do you find inspiration?Plants, earth, it comes naturally, internally. I love thinking with the wire and just flowing with it through all the twists and woven turns that create dimension in a project. I find inspiration just by playing with it and using my tools and hands to weave and decide what direction the wire is going to go. I love being able to teach people, as i am a self taught person in my skills. I am inspired by my love and passion.
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to be able to donate to something special atleast once in this lifetime! I would take 1/3 of this and donate to our local animal shelter. I would pay my debts and save for my first house.
