About
A native New Yorker, I've never lost my "New York State of Mind"! I was an art teacher in NYC and have been painting ever since. My first one in Kindergarten called The Girl Behind The Curtain! Designing jewelry happened by a leap of faith. The years in between were filled with many artistic and business adventures. I was a textile designer and owned a large Manhattan textile design studio, an antique dealer with a wonderful, eclectic shop Grey Gardens right in the heart of Soho! Add a personal trainer, jazz and blues vocalist, painter and you have a good part of my story.
An afternoon picnic in Central Park with a handful of beads led to making a pair of earrings which were admired and purchased by a lady passing by. Taking that as my cue, I took to the streets of Manhattan with my jewelry and never looked back. At the same time I was always painting at the Art students League in Manhattan.
Over the past 18 years, my Jewelry has been sold in many Museum Shops including The Whitney and The Philadelphia Museum of Art. I have participated in prominent art festivals throughout the country. I've met so many wonderful repeat customers, My desire is to offer you new and exciting pieces so that you feel you are on a treasure hunt when you shop here, and so I am always experimenting with innovative ideas bringing you exciting new pieces all of the time!
My Jewelry clients are woman who are very distinctive in their style, seeking accessories that show the world exactly who they are, strong women, wanting to make a statement.
In recent times I have begun painting once again, concentrating on people, nature and the “music scene”. Visit my Paintings and Portraits Collections to see my style of painting.
I love creating something from nothing, it's magical! I believe there is a special person for every object I create and the circle of energy is shared and completed with your connection. Please feel free to browse my collections and most importantly I hope that you enjoy your time here!
