About
My love affair with African antiquities was born over twenty years ago in an African art gallery in Stockbridge, MA, where I handled and studied a gallery of artifacts daily. I was most fascinated by the diverse styles and modalities used by African tribes to represent their culture, and I began to collect examples of those that spoke to me.
A few years (and many pieces) later, the inspiration to design my own jewelry came from reading Albert Gordon’s “The Tribal Bead.” Written by the owner of the gallery in which I had worked, this tiny book documented the rich history of African Trade beads, made of materials as old as one million years. Before long, I was traveling to Dakar, Senegal in search of vintage beads to feature in my jewelry.
Since returning from Senegal, I’ve settled in Tucson, Arizona. The Stones Glass Bones studio is here, where I’m creating one-of-a kind necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, sourced fairly and ethically, while creating new designs discovered along way.
