Living in the Blue Ridge Mountains, I'm continually inspired by the stunning, ever-evolving landscapes around me. Each day, the textures, colors, cloud formations, and the interplay of sunlight and shadow on the mountains provide endless inspiration for my jewelry. These sights energize my creativity, often leading me to capture them in sketches that spark new ideas.

My jewelry is crafted from Argentium® Silver, Gold, and Titanium, using traditional metalsmithing techniques. I saw, texture, hammer, and shape each piece by hand, creating art jewelry with unique character. This direct, hands-on approach allows each creation to emerge as a distinct work of art.

After being without power and water for eight days (because of Hurricane Helene’s impact), my business suffered significant setbacks due to canceled fall art festivals, gallery closures, postponed demonstrations, and a drop in fall tourism in Western North Carolina. To sustain my livelihood, I am developing an infrastructure that allows me to expand beyond relying solely on Asheville tourism. My goal is to maintain a steady income to support my family and to keep creating art jewelry.

Your support in purchasing a piece of my jewelry—whether online or in person—will help me continue this journey, sustain my business, and, of course, keep my two dogs.
