I am an artist and a self-taught jeweler living in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee. Using a torch and hand tools, I create one of a kind pieces, in Silver an Brass, designed to be everyday adornments and unique, custom talisman. I am inspired by the textures and colors of nature and natural stones. I enjoy using stones like Turquoise, Malachite, Carnelian and Opal. As well as, found objects and river rocks.
Usually, you can find me in my studio, in the garden, riding motorbikes, or working on the 1920’s house that I live in with my partner. But, I also love to travel and, I’ve been lucky enough to have been many places around the world. There is still SO much more to see and so many different cultures to explore. And, roaming around the mountains and rivers of the Southeast is also a favorite pastime.
