About Cowboy's Sweetheart

My life, in many ways, has resembled a Spaghetti Western film…. I emerged in the late 1960s, and was co-produced by an Italian. After graduating from art school, I high-tailed it to the American Southwest and, typical of the genre, became immersed in a culture of minimal funds, dramatic standoffs, unexpected plot-twists, artistic camera angles, and raw, explosive action scenes. A low-budget, highly fluid, minimalist, creative lifestyle has been the result. Audiences have enjoyed it, and my jewelry has come to be held in high regard.

Wild & Refined

Boss Lady, Creative Outlaw, Word Wrangler... I'm here to stir up the imagination and spur creativity with other like-hearted people who buck conformity and choose inspired, fulfilled lives.

As Chief Visionary Officer at Cowboy’s Sweetheart Jewelry, I find purpose and inspiration in creativity, crafting unique, hand-made jewelry from ethically-sourced gemstones, recycled sterling silver, 14k gold, pearls, and leather. My designs are influenced by the vibrant spirit of the American West and the remarkable women of its history—cowgirls and mountain women known for their determination, independence, adventurous spirit, and colorful language.

At Cowboy’s Sweetheart, my mission is to empower women to transform self-limiting beliefs, celebrate their achievements, and honor their unique talents through beautifully crafted jewelry. My collections not only enhance personal style but also inspire women to recognize their worth and embrace their individuality. Remember, you don’t have to hold the horse reins to hold the attitude. A cowgirl attitude is about embracing life with passion, confidence, and a sense of adventure!

Tiny Shop, Big Heart

Shop in Gold Hill, CO

Inspired by the tiny house movement, I traded the art fair circuit for a tiny log-and-chink shop on wheels, parked in the heart of Gold Hill, Colorado — a historic western mountain town just miles from the Continental Divide and downtown Boulder. I sell my jewelry there seasonally, alongside a general store, restaurant, lodge, gift shop, and museum. Recently, I added a small solar panel to power the lights, making it an off-grid, low-overhead, woman-owned delight.

The shop is generally open from Memorial Day thru Labor Day, Wednesday thru Sunday evenings from 4pm-8pm or by appointment. Please keep in mind, shop hours are somewhat dependent on the weather, as conditions can change quickly at 8,400 feet in elevation.

I draw my inspiration from the natural landscape of the American West and from the women trailblazers of rodeo's golden age. I named my business after them because they were never anybody's passive sweetheart — they were the whole damn show. The name is a little wink, and a whole lot of heart.
