Handcrafted jewelry is one of the more recent of my life's meanderings.  I learned some basic wire work at some point, but then went dormant for a long while...and it wasn't until the summer of 2017 that I became all wrapped up in copper wire!  I think I'm hooked forever!

​

In the summer of 2019, I moved close to the lovely little city of Staunton - a jewel in the center of the Shenandoah Valley.  It's beautiful here - the rolling green hills, the trees, the mountains...and all the good friendly folks.

 

It's starting to feel like home.  When I'm not busily wrapping pretty stones, you may find me dabbling in acrylic paint, or immersed in joyous West African - style drumming with a fledgling community of drummers.  Learn about the drum passion here. ...
