Comfortable, Elegant, and classy, yet can be worn casually, Art Jewelry created in my Port Washington, Wisconsin studio. Hand fabricated from fine silver, sterling silver, 14K gold filled,and anodized niobium.

I graduated in 1988 from UW Milwaukee with a bachelors degree in Metalsmithing 

1998 to present: Jazart Studio, Inc. I sell my work nationally through art fairs across the USA and I am represented by 33 different galleries in 17 of the United States and also in Canada. I have taught jewelry making at Milwaukee Area technical School and the Terri McCarthy Teaching Studio. I have served 14 years on the Board of directors for the Wisconsin Designer Crafts Council and also am a member of the American Crafts Council as well as Society of North American Goldsmiths.

Interesting tidbit: while putting myself through college, I was the first and only female pipe fitter for Wisconsin Gas Company from 1978-1998.
