HistoryI have been specializing in custom designed jewelry in downtown Bend Oregon for almost 29 years. I have always been on Minnesota street, but am now tucked between Thump coffee and Alleda real estate on Upper Minnesota, across from the Oxford Hotel. After many years of hosting First Friday's I decided to pick up a paint brush and let a different creative side enter my life. I love designing jewelry, and I also love painting. It's a good business, and a good life, and I'm really enjoying my two careers.SpecialtiesI specialize in custom designed, original fine jewelry. We work together and make something just for you, or you can choose from a selection of one-of-a-kind jewelry for yourself or for a gift. I make wedding and engagement rings, right-hand rings, pendants and earrings. We can also re-cycle something you already have updating it for the 21st century. It is very rewarding doing custom jewelry and I especially love creating jewelry to commemorate important anniversaries. I can also special order gems, pearls, diamonds and manufactured jewelry, so if you don't see it just ask! I also paint original fine abstract art in acrylic on canvas and panel. If there is a subject matter it is usually wild animals, but I also do pet portraits in my abstract style. The colors are often bold and the paintings show a lot of movement and expression.
