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.
