  • Biography: 
    I specialize in hollow form and dimensional metal jewelry, with my inspiration from old Norse cultures and themes that reflect my love of the outdoors. I made jewelry as a hobby during my career in organizational development and human resources. 4 years ago I left that career to pursue jewelry making and teaching fulltime. I also make mixed media collage work, incorporating watercolor, handcrafted papers and calligraphy.
    Philosophy:
    My art has always told stories. I work with personal images and themes to capture a memory or time and of beloved places in the world.Whether working in mixed media collage or jewelry, I strive to create pieces that relay a journey – of finding your way in the world. My collection today is called "Wayfinders", honoring the ways ancient peoples navigated by the sky, waters and seasons.
