We're the Best!

Oh, did I mention... we're the best?! Minnesota Monthly named me and my studio mates Susan Frerichs, Emily Johnson, and Betty Jeager Best Jewelers 2010 of the Cities!! We are so thrilled to be given this honor. Yay for jewels!

New Jewels!

The fresh, crisp air brings a whole new realm of inspiration and an all new collection! Check out my newest pieces. You can see them in person at Gallery 360, the Grand Hand, and of course my studio at the Northrup King Building.

Jewelry Trunk Show!

Annual Jewelry Trunk Show at Gallery 360 in South Minneapolis. Every year Merry and her team select three jewelry artists to premier a new collection for the season. This year me and two other amazing jewelry artists, Betty Jager and Chris Chookiatsirichai, roll out our newest jewels for this big event. I have a whole new collection filled with asymmetrical gemstone necklaces and weights and balances. Did I mention the whole gallery is 20% off!!!! Come do your Holiday shopping early. From ceramic mugs, oil paintings, and handmade notebooks, (and of course jewels!) Gallery 360 will have something for everyone. Hope to see you there!

Fall is here and the Northrup King Building has added some great new events! Saturday's have now been added as a day to head to the Northrup King Building with select open studios- the participating artists will vary each Saturday so check the board at the main entrance stairway or the website to see who's open.

Studio 435 will be open this Saturday, October 9th from 12-4pm (I will not be in attendance, but my other studio mates will be there with the jewels)
