My education is fine art. After Art College, I quickly jumped into the field of women’s fashion when I took over the family business on the east coast. I’ve worked in various mediums over the years, designing different lines for my stores.  My first encounter with leather was back in the early 70’s in Los Angeles, making bags and vests for number of Hollywood shops. After a succesful career in women's fashion, I retired to my beautiful ranch in Colorado so picking up my leatherwork again was just a natural for me.

The work I do now is one of a kind only. Working alone in my 3rd story studio, I am inspired by the awesome views and rich native history of the valley that I live in.
I am also fortunate to know a variety of artisans, many of whom are Native American, who create decorations, conchas, buttons and different closures out of sterling silver, stone, antlers and beadwork for many of my pieces thereby adding to their uniqueness. 

I now work exclusively in elk, deer and buffalo leather; all hand-punched and laced together, rarely using a machine except for pieces of woven fabric and leather combinations which still are primarily hand-laced.

I use feathers, shells, horse hair, metal and bone mixed with antique trade beads. Ethnic, Native American and other Artisans custom crafted pieces also enhance my work and give it its unique and earthy look. Earth, air, fire and water is a theme that runs through many of my designs. My pieces are always evolving so please check back to see the new designs.

I honor the whole skin of these majestic animals, bullet holes, scars, scratches – a true history of their lives.
I hope you will enjoy and appreciate the time, energy and thought I’ve put into each and every unique piece.
