Booth #114

I learned to make jewelry by the fabrication method, (opposed to casting), in Bloomington, Indiana, in the 1970s. It was my full
time occupation for 10 years, selling wholesale and retail. In the 1980s I took regular employment to support a new family,
(computer programming), but continued making jewelry part time, into the 1990s. I then took a break from jewelry until after
retirement, and in 2018 I came back to it. I have favored simple designs with some elegance, but I’m striving for more complexity
in my current work.
