About the Artist …
I am a 4th generation rockhound that has had a lifetime love affair with metal and rocks and every art medium under the sun, just about!
Jewelry and art are my family’s craft, and I’m loving following in my family’s footsteps! I also paint, sculpt, carve, sew, and all sorts of other mediums.
I truly enjoy working in stone and metal, and my soul sings as I grow and make something new that challenges me. I strive and hope to create jewelry and art that stirs the soul and speaks to one’s deepest, most sacred spirit.
I attempt to bring the beauty and a sense of the sacred that exists all around us into my art through natural elements such as stone and metal paying homage to the natural and mystical elements that bring depth and spirituality into our lives.
All items are handmade by me, carrying all those little imperfections that allow you to see the hand of the artist in every creation.
I strive to honor the world in which we live and protect and celebrate nature in all her many aspects and so I do responsibly source all of the materials used in my jewelry and art to the best of my ability.
Metals and other elements are recycled materials and gemstones, antlers, bones, shells and any other natural elements are all ethically, legally, and responsibly sourced.
It is very important to me that the items I use are sustainable and environmentally friendly.
I teach several classes in a variety of mediums, though since the pandemic I have taken a break from that for health reasons.
