After working in several mediums, I discovered metal clay in 2009 and it quickly became my passion! I allow myself to follow many paths with my art. Each piece is carefully designed and crafted.
I became a certified Art Clay Instructor in 2010, a Senior Instructor in 2012 and a Hadar Jacobson Accredited Instructor in 2014.
I was juried into the Metal Arts Guild of N.S. in 2010 and Craft Nova Scotia in 2011, in conjunction with the Metal Arts Guild of N.S., and as a solo artist in 2019.
I taught at the Nova Scotia Centre for Craft and Design, Halifax Bead & Metal Clay and from my two studios, as well as travelling to teach.
I was a presenter at SINTER22, an Alliance for Metal Clay Arts Worldwide, (AMCAW) conference, in Pittsburgh in 2022, and will present at SINTER24 in England.
You can find samples of my work in AMCAW’s annual calendar and tutorials on the AMCAW website.
I sell my work at numerous art shows, and small art stores in Nova Scotia.

Metal clay is an innovative product that contains micron size pieces of silver, (gold, bronze, copper, steel) depending on the metal clay you choose, mixed with non-toxic binders and water.
Due to the make up of metal clay, it allows you to craft pieces of jewelry or sculptures without having to follow many of the traditional metal smithing techniques. Metal clay can be rolled, pinched, textured, cut, shaped, poked, or carved before it is fired, very much like ceramic clays. When kiln, or torched fired, the binders burn away, leaving a pure metal piece of jewelry or art piece.
A wonderful aspect of metal clay is that anyone, regardless of experience level, can create a simple, beautiful, jewelry piece after a short introductory lesson. As you continue to build your skills, as with most things, your work will grow and evolve, becoming more intricate.
