I love the idea of making ‘wearable art’ out of silver and gemstones. I strive every day to create pieces that are unique and special, pieces that speak to me in some way and that I hope will speak to others.
My process is often very organic, particularly in the early stages of design: I often don’t know where the process is going to take me when I begin. I just grab some stones and silver and see where inspiration takes me. I find this to be the most fun way to come up with new ideas. The journey is the adventure.
My passion is silver smithing and I love beautiful gemstones. I like to incorporate elements of nature into my work. Flowers, ferns, trees, hummingbirds and bees are among my favorites.
I make every piece one at a time, completely by hand. There are almost no commercial components used in my pieces and all silver work is hand forged. I work to make pieces that will last a lifetime.
I joined Alberta Street Gallery in 2018.
