Welcome! I’m a silversmith, jewelry lover, and “what if” renegade living and working from my home studio outside Atlanta, GA. Torches have become my friends and I've known for years how to wield a hammer, courtesy of my construction-oriented family and undertaking many home repair projects.

I am grateful to excellent silversmith instructors—both in person and virtual—for helping me find my comfort with silver. Wire working is something I taught myself, informed by the videos and books by skillful artists, and my happy place has me surrounded with coils of wire and assorted pliers, flush cutters, mandrels and hammers.

Rather than be constrained to a particular technique or style, I find it satisfying to mix materials such as metal and wood and am continually learning new tricks (some the hard way). I am drawn to the myriad colors and properties of stones and glass beads, especially how they contrast with or complement metal.

As with many areas of life, I believe jewelry should be as much about process as it is about the end game. For me, and I sense in a larger community, there is a deepening appeal to the character and uniqueness of handmade items. These qualities have become too rare in our stamped-out, mass-produced world. We've achieved efficiency and quick replication, yet stripped the soul from the objects we surround ourselves with.

When I create jewelry, no matter how simple or complex, it is my goal to infuse soul along with aesthetics. If you are seeking pieces that resonate with who you are or to create a thoughtful gift, you've come to the right place.
