meet the maker

I design and create handcrafted, wearable art, using ethically sourced .999 fine silver, .925 sterling silver, copper, and genuine gemstones. I source all of my stones from fellow small businesses, and source locally when possible. 

In April of 2020, I started my journey to become a self-taught metalsmith, after months of continuous research, endless tutorials, and trial and error, birthing the skills and craftsmanship needed for this artistic trade. 

I have had the desire to create, design, and express myself through art for all of my life. Art is my drive, my passion, and my truest expression.

As a child, I doodled on any paper I could get my hands upon. As I grew older and my skill set evolved, I began to sketch for hours at a time and eventually progressed into mixed mediums such as oil, watercolor, and acrylic paints. Also creating mosaic mirrors, tables, and pottery out of tile or handpicked beach glass from the shores of Lake Superior. 

Discovering the art of metalsmithing has been the greatest window to revealing my true and authentic self. Being able to design something on paper and then recreate it into wearable art is truly gratifying. My creative expression for my designs comes from a variety of influences including the illumination of light through the forest, no matter the season, along with the breathtaking views of Lake Superior and all the power she holds. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is endlessly inspiring, rich in history and vast indigenous beauty. Lastly, I pull inspiration from all of the beautiful souls I am blessed to have in my life, incorporating little pieces of their energy and essence into my designs. As my passion for metalsmithing expands, my love for creating grows stronger. I am honored to be on this journey, and I cannot wait for all the adventures this trade will carry me on.
