A love for making
I'VE ALWAYS HAD A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR THINGS MADE BY HAND AND THE CARE, CREATIVITY, AND CHARACTER THAT GO INTO THEM. JEWELRY MAKING GIVES ME A WAY TO WORK WITH MY HANDS AND CREATE SOMETHING THAT CAN SPARK JOY AND BECOME A MEANINGFUL PART OF SOMEONE'S LIFE.
I'M DRAWN TO A VARIETY OF STYLES AND ENJOY LETTING THE CREATIVE PROCESS LEAD THE WAY, SOMETIMES A PIECE STARTS WITH A BEAUTIFUL STONE, SOMETIMES WITH A DESIGN IDEA I'VE BEEN WANTING TO TRY, AND SOMETIMES IT SIMPLY TAKES SHAPE AS I WORK.
IT OFTEN STARTS WITH A STONE
I'VE BEEN A ROCKHOUND FOR YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED BY THE INCREDIBLE VARIETY FOUND IN ROCKS, MINERALS, AND GEMSTONES. THEIR NATURAL COLORS, TEXTURES, AND PATTERNS OFTEN BECOME PART OF THE INSPIRATION FOR A PIECE.
NO TWO STONES ARE EXACTLY ALIKE, AND I LOVE ALLOWING THAT INDIVIDUALITY TO INFLUENCE THE DESIGN. SOME PIECES ARE INSPIRED BY THE BEAUTY OF TAHOE, WHILE OTHERS BEGIN WITH A STONE, A NEW TECHNIQUE, OR A DESIGN IDEA I'M EXCITED TO EXPLORE.
I BELIEVE JEWELRY SHOULD FEEL SPECIAL WITHOUT NEEDING A SPECIAL OCCASION. MY GOAL IS TO CREATE LASTING, WEARABLE PIECES OF ART THAT FEEL PERSONAL, COMFORTABLE, AND DISTINCTLY YOURS.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND SUPPORTING HANDMADE. I HOPE YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT SPEAKS TO YOU AND BECOMES A PIECE THAT YOU REGULARLY WEAR.
