I was blessed to have a few eccentric women in my life. I have always admired their elegant enigma. Being the youngest (and wildest) in my family, I wound up with what was left. The used, abused and worn. Truth be told, I gravitated toward those things anyway. They always seem to have a story to tell. Jewelry was the way I expressed myself, from the cyan blue aluminum house keys I made into earing to odd bits put together as a one-of-a-kind necklace. The obsession just kept growing. I experimented on my own, created with friends and took some classes so I could further my creative passion. Nomadic Salvage Studio is a place I can escape and make up stories for my wearable art and let them go on grand adventures.
