I am a Seattle jewelry artist originally from Anchorage, Alaska. I have been a jewelry artist for over 20 years and discovered my passion for metalsmithing while studying at Pratt Fine Arts Center. I find my medium of choice to be copper because of its energetic properties, and its ability to interact easily with other elements and semi-precious stones but I also love to work with other metals as well. I draw my inspiration from nature, architecture, and from my various travels around the world. When creating the pieces for my collections I really try to capture a feeling that relates to the collection itself. Each unique piece is handcrafted by me and I take pride in only using quality materials and hand-picked stones. My style is organic in nature with an effortless bohemian vibe.
