Originally from Southeast Kansas, Lisa spent her childhood living in Australia, Iran and Greece. She attended the University of Minnesota and received her B.A. in Asian Studies and Chinese. After she graduated she pursued a music career and was voted best female singer/songwriter by the Minnesota Music Academy. Lisa began making jewelry and exhibiting at craft shows some nineteen years ago when she first started collecting unusual beads and findings during her travels. Her jewelry now combines organic, bohemian and retro design drawing inspiration found in nature, Eastern philosophies and fashion during the 60’s. Ferns, flowers, twigs, oms, paisley and peace signs flourish in her earrings, bracelets, rings and pendants. Using recycled silver, gold and semi-precious stones; each piece of her hand-fabricated jewelry is made with the highest quality craftsmanship in her Berkshire studio.  Her philosophy is to create jewelry that is truly special but can be worn everyday.
