I unite precious metals with minerals, fossils,and precious gems to create personal talismans
As a jeweler, I work primarily in sterling silver, copper, and high karat gold. I love to create symbolic pieces using hand wrought ancient techniques along with 21st century tools to create talismanic jewelry that feels both contemporary and timeless.
I love to select unusual and collectable rare minerals, gemstones, and fossils to embellish my “heart-scapes” in metal, and bring the observer in for a closer look, much like a flower, a rock, a drop of water, or any of life’s natural forms really, can be a miracle when happened upon and truly observed.
I feel that a type of beauty is drawn upon from within when one wears something that is treasured and has a sacred connection with the wearer. I try to imbue this spirit into each and every piece that I create.
As a gallery owner, I curate unique and beautifully crafted objects made by American craft artists both local and from across the entire country that inspire our lives and bring our hearts to the forefront of our homes. Many of these artisans are the very best in their fields, and are recipients of numerous awards and accolades.
