Kathy is a silversmith who works with crystals and gemstones in her Talmadge studio. She was introduced to crystals and their healing properties on her journey to finding inner peace and harmony. It is said that when silver is used with gemstones, the metal retains and amplifies the qualities emitted by the stones—enhancing the connection between the wearer and the stone, allowing for a gentle flow of energy between the two. She enjoys creating timeless, meaningful, and elegant pieces. Kathy joined the board in 2022 and serves as the Event & Volunteer Coordinator where she’s taken our annual Holiday Lights Bike Ride and Walkabout to the next level for our community and members.
