My studio is my laboratory…
“I thrive on experimentation in my creative process. Embracing new and challenging techniques is integral to my growth. When curating new collections, I strive to keep my options open, drawing inspiration from the intricate details of nature. Geometric petal patterns, the hues of an autumn landscape, and delicate insect wings are just a few things that fuel my creativity. My hope is that those who wear my pieces will be inspired to see nature through a fresh lens.“
Go go go! Getting projects done…
Here is my etched design! Ready for soldering etc!
Weird science! Yes it’s true that sometimes working in the studio is literally like working in a chem lab! I’m etching a sweet little name/bird design into sterling silver. Tomorrow it’s solder and polish along with setting a beautiful rose cut pink tourmaline. Stay tuned!

Me and a bunch of BMore crafters are down in Highlandtown / Brewers Hill at @mobtownbrewing for a @popupgallery.eastcoast market! Come see us 12noon to 4pm! Get a brew and get some baubles too!!
We still have leftover reception cards from our 2005 wedding. The paper is way too luxurious to toss, so I’m using them for sketches…Hoping to incorporate a little more of my illustration in my jewelry designs. #makecicadatime #koi #koifish #doodles #illustration #jewelry #handmadejewelry #handmade

Another treasure from the @baltimorejewelrycenter and @_eearl ‘s sand casting class! I powder coated one side loosely to see if colored chunky tulip was worth it. I think I’m going to leave the other side bronze for now. I already have earrings to match. #sandcasting #tulips #tulipjewelry #makecicadatime #color #powdercoating
I create unique custom pieces
Many ask, ‘Do you take custom orders?’ The answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’ I adore crafting unique pieces for clients and their loved ones. Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Mother’s and Father’s Days, or any special occasion—you name it.
I also craft pieces to honor loved ones, including pets. My process blends mementos, old photos, and found objects to create cherished treasures. It all begins with a photo or a story. Curious to know more? Inquire about starting the process.
