Jewelry

When I create something from raw materials with my own two hands, I feel such a deep satisfaction and happiness, that I know I can't live without it.  Creating truly satisfies my soul.  There is so much meaning and love behind a handmade object.  It speaks to you and tells you the story of a person who loves what they do. When you receive a piece of my jewelry or ceramics, I hope some of my joy is passed on to you!  

Nature is a big inspiration for me, but also the material itself.  I love how a straight piece of wire or a lump of clay can be transformed into something beautiful in just a few steps.  I get the most gratification starting from scratch.  Everything I create is designed and handcrafted from raw materials solely by me.  I use hand fabrication techniques in jewelry, and all of my ceramics are sculpted by hand and fired twice in my electric kiln.  I try to be as eco-friendly as possible, using minimal chemicals, recycling and reusing when possible.
