I am a graduate of Arizona State University with a Bachelors of Fine Art in Metals with a minor in Interior Design History. I worked as an Interior Designer while in School and had my first official client in 2004 under the business name of Incognito Designs which has since evolved into the art of making and selling Art Jewelry and Small Sculpture. I show in Juried Exhibitions, Festivals, and Art Shows. My interior design skills and education have helped me to work skillfully in metal, wood, and fiber arts as well. Having a historical and working knowledge of processes has been beneficial in my work as a metal smith. I teach Jewelry I, Jewelry II, Enameling, Casting, Etching, and many other metals classes for The Edna Vihel Center for The Arts in Tempe, Arizona. I also teach at The Mesa Art Center and have been an instructor for The Phoenix Center for The Arts and Fire and Friends Z Art Studio. I am a member of the Society of North American Gold Smiths (SNAG), the Arizona Designer Craftsmen (ADC) and the Coordinator for the Arizona Designer Craftsmen’s Central Chapter Metalink Group.
