I am inspired by the beauty and malleability of metal, personal experiences including travels, and most of all the desire to create wearable and often whimsical objects with a sense of value and craftsmanship. I love to make jewelry that tells a story - a bird flies over a landscape, a deer leaps across a stream. I do this by pairing hand-forged creatures with unusual gemstones to create one-of-a-kind pieces.
