About Marti
Marti was always interested in the arts. Some of her fondest memories included art camp, painting in her basement, art classes in summer school, and involvement in choral music as a child. Marti became a professional artist and craftsman after completing her BFA in jewelry making. She has been designing jewelry for over 48 years. As much as she loves creating jewelry, she also greatly enjoys teaching, both nationally and internationally.

Marti has experience in a variety of traditional and contemporary jewelry metals and processes. To develop a niche for her jewelry she chose to work in niobium, a colorful metal, and frequently embellishes her creations with beads. Trips to the Tucson gem shows reintroduced her to the beauty of beads. Marti is constantly exploring new sources of inspiration. She has added beadweaving, Viking knit, polymer clay, Shrinkets, felting and chainmaille to her inspirational techniques.

Marti is the dragon of The Dragon’s Odyssey. She is a founding member of the Delaware Valley Bead Society encompassing Hunterdon County in New Jersey and Bucks County in Pennsylvania.
