Artist Statement
For many years I worked with vintage vinyl records album covers concert t- shirts and comic books. I repurposed them into everything from bowls lamps and coasters to bracelets tote bags and jewelry. I moved from Chicago to San Francisco where I apprenticed with a master cobbler and learned the art of making shoes and leather work. Following my grown children to Chicago 2 years ago I began to develop of line of luxury handmade handbags belts and jewelry made from exotic leathers. I custom hand stamp lyrics song titles or a unique message onto the straps.
