Out of everything you have worked on, do you have a favorite project? What is your most memorable project? Why are these your favorite/most memorable? I would probably say my Phases of the Moon Concho Belt I made last year. It was an idea I had rolling around in my brain for years and I loved getting to bring it to fruition. It incorporated all my favorite things, moons, scrolls, stones, and a little sprinkle of weird haha! What are your interests outside of jewelry and engraving? My husband and I ranch with our family and I love the seasonality of that. I am an Ultra Runner, mind you not really a fast one, just someone who loves a challenge. I also dabble in interior design. Does that outside interest inform or influence your creativity in any way? I like to say that running is cheaper than therapy haha! I love to explore the area I get to live in and ranching brings a deep sense of connection and purpose to this land.

You teach at the GRS Training Center and have also created the “Be a Maker School”, an online learning resource. What made you decide to teach? I believe it is a God thing, he keeps me humble because I make LOTS of mistakes so I am able to teach on those issues. But GRS has been the catalyst for that aspect of my work. I began by demonstrating years ago at shows then slowly built up to a week-long class by workshops and one-day classes. I am so grateful for the opportunity to teach because I learn so much each time! I also was so blessed to have some wonderful teachers over the years and if I can be that for someone else that is really important to me.
