I have been an artist all my life. Twelve years ago I was introduced to the world of minerals, fossils and gemstones. Inspired by their natural beauty, I began creating wearable art jewelry.

I look for unusual stones such as pink tourmaline crystals embedded in lavendar lepidolite, ruby crystals in green zoisite, pyritized ammonite fossils, and amethyst stalactite slices. I also work with mabé blister pearls, faceted gemstone beads and freshwater pearl strands.

My jewelry has been in a number of galleries throughout the southwest. I had a gallery of my own for five years in Santa Fe, New Mexico (Bollé Gallery in Sanbusco Market Center). I closed the store in January of 2004 so that I could spend more time in the creative process, work with clients on a one-to-one basis, and do fine arts and crafts shows.

Each piece I make carries with it a spark from my soul, and it is my hope that through making jewelry I am able to share my creative energy and love of nature's art with others.
