Accessories – Madison

I am all about preserving the past and blending it with the present in new and unexpected ways. I\'ve been making jewelry for years and been collecting vintage pieces since I was a teenager. I love rescuing old, broken bits and giving them new life whether it\'s a bit of vintage chain, a gorgeous brooch, a piece of 100 year old sheet music or even more unusual items such as a vintage suspender clasp. I am also obsessed with objects and ephemera, collage and altered art and use those elements in my work. I live with my husband and children in a little town on the banks of the Fox River and when I\'m not busy chasing them around I am in my studio creating.
