Jewelry Collections
My design ideas are inspired by themes that shape collections of my work.
Simple, elegant, everyday jewelry.

Streams & Stones
As a young woman I lived in the Rocky Mountains. I ventured into the backcountry along rivers and streams, camping where water rushes over rocks. Those memories inspired the rings, earrings and pendants engraved and soldered for this collection.

Leaf & Ivy
Growing up I lived in many places and each has trees native to that area – oak, maple, pine, cedar, arbutus, and different ivies. As seasons change, so do the leaves and needles. The shapes and patterns of this collection are drawn from my studies of leaf & ivy.

Orbital
I’ve had a lifelong interest in astronomy, building shoebox viewers for eclipses and writing about constellations. At university I aced Astronomy 101 and have followed space science media my whole life. This interest led to the orbs, spheres and rings in my jewelry art.

Discus
From discus and shotput to Ultimate and frisbee golf, I have played disc sports. To this day, I carry a frisbee in my car. I use that shape to create earrings and pendants from silver, copper, brass and bronze, which I texture and patina for unique finishes.

Copper Works
For centuries copper has been used as a therapeutic cure to improve circulation and reduce inflammation. My cuffs, bracelets and rings are hand crafted and designed to help people overcome symptoms of joint swelling and increase collagen production in a beautiful way.

Hammer Works
In jewelry design school, I fell in love with texturing metal to create miniature landscapes. Angled surfaces allow light to bounce off in unique ways. My collection of texturing hammers and custom-made stamps allow me to create patterns in my jewelry that have great appeal.
