My passion for learning jewellery and metalsmithing processes led me to study in three different countries: the United States and Italy during my BFA, and the United Kingdom for my MA. In the past three years I have exhibited work at 17 venues in the United States, Italy, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. I enjoy blogging and have recently become a resident blogger on Crafthaus, an international networking site for the art community. Besides having my jewellery featured online on several international websites (in Spain, France, Italy, and the United States), my work has also been printed in five publications in the United States and Britain. I also have a passion for teaching and take pleasure in sharing my skills with students of varying ages and skill levels. I have instructed students as young as 8 while working with the Boy Scouts of America, but also have experience teaching BA and MA students.
