I fell in love with jewelry when I was a child. My Nana used to send my sister and I gifts of jewelry for every birthday. These special memories were kept wrapped in pretty silk cases hidden in my Mom's bedroom. My Mom used to bring them out on days when I was feeling sad and I would get to unwrap each beautiful jewel, try it on, admire myself in the mirror, and feel like a princess.
Many years later I fell in love with making jewelry when I took a night class on ring making. I went into the teachers live/work studio and I never wanted to leave. I hadn’t known that being a professional jewelry artist was an option. I was enchanted.
My Jewelry Designs combine ancient techniques in metalsmithing with contemporary techniques in enameling. My life and the world around me continually inspires me to create. I am often struck by the drama of a piece of highly detailed fabric or the vivid colour of a flower petal. I am equally as inspired by the love, beauty, pain and heartache that make my life incredible.
I strive to create beautiful, original, colorful works of art that can be worn, cherished, and adored. I want women to connect with a piece and the story behind it, and when they put it on their body feel bold, passionate, and alive.
