Inspired by the diffuse reflective qualities of light, surface tension, and constant movement in bodies of water, my work begins with close observation of nature. This influence flows through each design, shaping both line and form with a sense of quiet motion. Trained in fundamental metalsmithing techniques allows me to interpret the surface quality of water. Shaped by hand with the goal of achieving the intricacies of light reflected, each piece of jewelry offers movement for the eye and color to compliment the naturalistic themes.
From my Virginia studio, I delicately craft each piece of jewelry with meticulous attention to detail. Surfaces are imbued with soft texture and set with hand-selected gemstones, offering an additional layer of light to reflect for the viewer. Sustainability is central to my practice—sourcing materials allows the process the time it deserves to reach its fullest expression. My work is grounded in purpose and personal connection—to the land and the millennia these precious materials took to form. I strive to honor the labor and emotional significance behind each piece. With dedication to traditional goldsmith skills, I hope to leave a legacy of jewelry that speaks quietly but enduringly of love, memory, and the beauty of thoughtful creation.
