Custom jewelry created by hand.
I founded The Tenth Muse in 1996 in Eugene, Oregon after working nearly three years for Blue Moon Jewelry Design. With inspiration and support from my mentors, I was encouraged to see if I could make it on my own, designing and bringing to life any whimsies I could dream up. Since then, I have traveled throughout the northwest, venturing as far east as Las Vegas, to show my creations at renaissance fairs, art shows, and music festivals enjoying people and their response to my jewelry.
I am a northwest native, born and educated in Oregon. Thanks to a large number of fantastic teachers, I made it through school with my sense of wonder intact. I want to believe that people would rather have something special; a piece of jewelry that is just for them, rather than something that was mass-produced somewhere on the other side of the world. With that thought in my head, I go into my shop to create unique and unusual pieces. I majored in design at college and I use some of what I learned there to fuse timeless elements from the past with a sense of modern pizzazz.
I currently sell at the Eugene Saturday Market and at art shows all over Oregon. I ship custom pieces all over the world due to the traffic on my web site. I am looking toward the future and wanting to expand into new and exciting areas.
