Inspiration comes from many sources. I have spent
my life in constant overwhelming wonder of of our natural history, wanderlust, culture, art, history, great literature, and the pure line of an engraving...the
gleam of silver and gold....and true craft. They all
seem to tie back together in the big picture and I
can't wait for you to see it.
I am working on a line of jewelry pieces combining
all of these. I can see many directions my art can take me and I guess it might surprise and delight most .
The line encompasses a few different collections.
Compass Rose a collection of pieces made from the beautiful compass roses found on maps & charts, both colorful and graphic.
Botanica A selection of botanical images and
images from cultivation
Historie Naturelle My never-ending love of nature in all its glory.
Home a group of maps of where we are "from" or where we spent our childhood, grouped with found objects and the like. What brings you back to Home.
Wanderlust a collection of
things collected from my travels and yours.
This line is supposed to speak to you or someone
you love. It is supposed to make you want to interact
or be apart of it I have designed or vision you the
wearer to inspire me. Let me know where Home is to you or what piece of nature inspires you. Let me see
if I can create a piece of Home for you!
