Moving metal is where the spirit of creativity lies for me. My passion is experiencing the fluidity and the grounding energies contained within metal. I was drawn to metalsmithing after working as a welder and metal fabricator. The smaller scale and refinement of jewelry attracted me as well as the use of gemstones. My work ranges from jewelry to specialized acupuncture tools for Japanese Meridian Therapy. I primarily use silver and high-karat gold along with gemstones and pearls. My goal is to create objects of clean design that resonate and connect us to the elements of the earth and self.
