Influences: Norwegian silver work, and everything around me!
Education: BA in Math secondary education and a BA in Psychology, both from Hood College. I am basically self taught in my jewelry specialty.

Bio: Born and raised in Maryland, I moved to Norway in 1991 after marrying a Norwegian. I learned a traditional Norwegian Jewelry technique, a form of filigree, which I've become adept in and adapted to my own unique style. I have written a book called Silver Threads, Making Wire Filigree Jewelry, published by Kalmbach books.
