Biographical Information

For information about our interest in health and fitness, please check out our blog at www.lifeinsynergy.blogspot.com  I describe myself as a generalist.  This is because of my wide variety of professional experiences, including fashion model, insurance adjuster, teacher, government analyst, artist, and writer. 

Several years ago, when I retired from my career as a government analyst, I searched for something to keep me busy and began to build a custom design jewelry business. For me, working with the earth's beautiful metals, gems, stones, pearls, shells, and wood, and turning them into wearable pieces of art is extremely uplifting and satisfying.

Partly because I am a biologist by education and not a metal smith, I decided to work with the versatile and forgiving Precious Metal Clay (PMC) see to make my own components. I saw this new and exciting medium as an opportunity to create handmade silver pieces. I soon realized that PMC provided a wonderful artistic outlet through creation of Fine Silver sculptures that are pendants, charms, brooches, earrings, beads, and clasps.  I still sell my creations in the online store and at Synergy.  

SYNERGY DECOR

After selling my jewelry designs at The Barn I decided to open my own shop there.  Now in my fourth year I am still having fun shopping for treasures to pass along to my customers at great prices.

My latest endeavor is finally to be writing and publishing a novel--something I have dreamed of doing for many years.  We are very close to completion of this project and eventually will present the book at Synergy.
