My jewelry represents a path of human engagement with the natural world. We set ourselves apart and are also deeply reliant on our environment. I’m curious about ideas of observing, interacting, and receiving in the world we create through human perception.

I call my work elemental because I create from the material forward and celebrate questions of foundational beliefs. How we perceive what we have to work with in both a material and ideological sense becomes the basis of how we move through life. As a lifelong creative, I see possibility everywhere and I enjoy engineering those ideas into being. Creating in metal and stone is an opportunity to build strong messages that can withstand everyday wear.

How do we…

take up space, hold space?
exert effort over time, ease into a moment?
sense discovery, recognize anew?
participate in sync, choose to stand apart?

The way we interact with the questions of life becomes one version of who we are.

I make this work because I want to share my explorations of possibility and interaction with those who recognize these same questions.
