The Story

When I was a little girl, I remember my grandma had taken over two entire cabinets in our bathroom and filled them with egg crates that she used to separate her extensive collection of earrings. She was meticulous about matching the perfect earrings with her vibrantly colored and patterned dresses. I must believe that this image sat in my subconscious for decades before it unearthed itself in 2020. 

 As I refresh my bio now in 2024, I find it difficult to capture the journey my style and artistry has taken over the last four years. 2023 was a year of rebirth for me as I took my first metalsmith class, surrounded myself with other jewelers and artists, and searched for my "voice" in the world of talented jewelers. I learned so many new techniques, tried them all, and then waited to find what would truly speak to my soul and that has landed me with the wire work and handwoven metal you see in my designs today. 

While I would love to tell you there was an "aha" moment where it all came together for me, that is not the case. Instead, my body of work showcased on my website happened so organically. At times it happened with my 2 year old sitting on my lap and my 7 year old telling me what she thought looked best while other times it happened in silence. At my core, I was creating from my soul's journey through life. I have been sober for 17 years now, but I know that I still battle with my demons even though there is so much beauty in my life. I have come to appreciate my battles, to embrace them, and to fight like hell for the life and love that is in my life today. 

So for every piece I create, my own journey is woven into it. You will find hammered textures, dark patinas, chains, and more. All of this is made to also honor your journey and hope that you as my customer, take time to honor yourself.
