Nuttree Studio specializes in jewelry, metalwork, glass and mosaics. The common ingredients are beads -- crystal, glass, metal, gemstone or shell. The variety of available beads is an irresistible eye-candy, beckoning the bead artist to accumulate an endless supply!

I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in metalsmithing from Colorado State University. Whereas fabrication with sterling, copper and brass was my preferred technique in previous years, my work now includes fused glass, wirework and mixed media. The discovery of new techniques and materials is a welcomed challenge.

The majority of my work is 'One of a Kind'. The designs are often whimsical and generally improvisational, always with an attention to craftsmanship. I strive for technical excellence and the highest quality of workmanship. Each piece is handmade with enthusiasm!

Thanks for visiting.
