A number of years ago, Annie realized she wanted an
artistic outlet. She began taking art classes in
different mediums. In 1997 she took a basic jewelry
class and that started her love of designing jewelry.
She continued taking more jewelry classes and is now
a certified PMC Instructor.

Annie works in her home studio in Bucks County, PA.
She lives with her 2 beloved bull terriers. As you can
see she has also incorporated them into her jewelry. She
is a juried member of the Bucks County (PA) Guild of
Craftsmen and participates in numerous craft shows
in the northeast. She is also a member of the Delaware
Valley Bead Society.

Each one of her designs is handcrafted using fine
silver, sterling silver, brass, gold filled, semi-precious
stones, and a variety of glass beads that are made by
contemporary artists or are vintage beads found in her
travels.

Annie has always been greatly influenced by textures
and colors. So it just seemed natural that she would
integrate fiber into the metal jewelry. Fiber and wire
are twisted together to create a fiber-wire. The
fiber-wire is then used to create a bead or wrapped
around a form. The form can be something as simple
as rope or a piece of metal. The fiber pieces offer
something unique in the world of jewelry.

Always a favorite of Annie's are her bracelets. Again,
the textures are what draw her to making chains. There
is also the puzzle solving quality of them. On many
occasions her chains are incorporated into her
necklaces.

By all means enjoy whatever strikes your fancy!!!
