A fifth generation Texan of German and English descent, Dottie has lived in Texas most of her life.  She comes from a family of artists, and has experimented with various forms of art herself.....quilting, painting, leatherwork, needlepoint, photography and won awards for several counted cross stitch designs.  She began designing jewelry in the late 1990's for herself, family and friends and it has grown from there.

Shortly after moving, with her husband, to the "suburbs" of Hye, Texas in 2000, she began to build her jewelry business.  Reading, researching and taking classes to learn new techniques and silversmithing; and finding other silver and lampwork bead artists with which to collaborate.

Most of her designs are Southwestern made from Sterling, Bali and Hill Tribe Silver, Turquoise, Coral, Lapis, Spiny Oyster and more.  She often uses Artisan made silver beads, clasps, and pendants, many made by Dottie herself.
