My love for nature and the surroundings of where I live in northern Michigan are some of the many images I love to paint. The many years spent serving my customers in my retail jewelry store kept me from focusing on my painting, and now that I am semi-retired I’m enjoying using my creativity in new ways and directions.  Check out “Custom Jewelry Designs” and “Paintings”.  I can work directly with you or over the phone.

“Re-creating your jewelry box memories into wearable treasures” is something I have enjoyed doing my entire career. I love the challenge and I love seeing my clients face when I deliver the final product. With 50 years of experience, I am able to re-set your diamonds or family heirloom stones into an entirely new piece of jewelry that will please you and be what you were dreaming of all along.
