I have collected seaglass on local beaches since I was a toddler; it’s a tradition in my family. I love the way salt water, wave action and sand take broken glass - trash, to be honest - and transform it into a thing of luminous beauty. It’s been a lifelong inspiration to take this wonderful raw material, plus local shells and stones, and work them into jewelry, lighting, windchimes, mobiles, mosaics and other possibilities.

I only use naturally-created seaglass hand-collected on the beach – never artificially-tumbled glass. Stones and shells used are also natural. Each individual item is therefore unique as a snowflake. The materials are carefully selected and matched for quality, shape and color, though no two pieces are ever identical. Jewelry settings are sterling silver or filled gold; accent beads are Swarovski crystal, clear glass or frosted glass
