About Us

 Working primarily in silver, I integrate copper, brass and other materials to bring to life my creations. Using traditional metalsmithing techniques and other jewelry making methods I have worked to blend a myriad of ideas into a loosely-related body of work.  I am constantly taking classes in order to  blend those techniques into my work. 

Thanks for visiting and enjoy.

Ciao,

Who I Am

Born and raised in Southern California, I have forever had an affinity toward the outdoors and nature.  Early family camping trips and outings along with an ever changing flower and produce garden fueled my early love of nature.  These lifelong elements have continued to play an important role in the design aesthetic of my work.  The beauty of a flower, fresh with the morning dew, the color and texture of spring leaves and fall bark.....if you look closely you will find some small bit of nature in each of my designs....

Our History

My initial foray into the world of design was in my university studies at The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), in Los Angeles, CA.  I have always had a love of color, texture, fabrics and fashion.  This educational basis is the root of my passion to create wearable art in the form of jewelry and hand cut stones.

What began with a few classes, burgeoned into a  passion to learn everything metalsmithing related and has become a thriving business.  Soon friends were asking to buy my creations from around my neck and wrist. They argued that I couldn't wear it all and that at this point I should be sharing some of my work. I have been honored and excited to share my love of metalsmithing with others. It is a true pleasure to see others become excited to hear how a piece is created and then purchase and proudly wear that piece. 
​
​I have had the opportunity to share my creative processes through the many articles I have written for the well known national magazine, "Belle Armoire Jewelry" as well as teaching metalsmithing at the Irvine Fine Arts Center. 

I will always showcase many styles and techniques within my collections giving my designs their broad appeal and lasting style.
