Curator Of Shiny Objects Studios As long as I can remember, I’ve been collecting and making things. My training is informal and ongoing, with handmade items created from bits of fabric, glass, and stone focusing on everyday objects of adornment and holding. Current fixations are an assortment of handmade cross-body style bags and wallets from upholstery fabrics, and hand-crocheted jewelry with "found" pottery. Just as birds collect fantastical found treasures, my goal is to create items you will enjoy gathering for your own personal collection, or share with those you love.
