I am a native of Schenectady, NY  and now live in the Southern

Adirondacks of New York with my husband Brian.  After many

years of working in “9-5” jobs, I am now pursuing my lifelong

dream of owning my own craft business. 

 I started my business in 2003 and I’ve never looked back.  All

my designs are original in nature and combine a variety of Bali

sterling, semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls, Swarovski

crystals and cubic zirconia stones. 

 Many of my customers have asked how I came up with my

business name of Leaning Tree Designs.  It’s simple, my parents

own a camp on Piseco Lake in the Adirondacks and there is a

tree leaning over the water at the edge of their property.  They

have owned the property for over 50 years and the tree still

stands strong and alive. 

 I invite all that visit my web site to come to one of my many

shows to see my work in person.  Although I have a few

examples of my work posted on my web site, the pictures don’t

come close to true beauty of the natural stones that I use in my

designs.
