Living in Montana & being an artist is perfect because I get to set my own schedule & enjoy the outdoors. I love to hike, snow ski, float the rivers and do anything Montana has to offer. My jewelry is all handmade using recycled copper & zinc. To find copper I "scavenger" the bins at our local recycle facility. All of the patina copper is stained by hand by me in my studio. I have several “recipes” I use to create the different variations. Although my pieces are similar in design, the very nature of handmade guarantees that no two pieces are ever exactly the same. Please keep in mind that since copper and patina finishes have a mind of their own - each finish may vary. Each piece is one of a kind that I create when you place your order. Therefore, I can also customize my pieces. Please contact me with any questions.
