Silversmithing strikes a perfect balance between being a whimsical art and a process focused craft. This process always begins with sourcing quality gemstones. I travel annually to the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show to handpick stones. It is an essential part of the process that brings me a lot of joy.

The stones of the Earth and the recurring patterns of Nature’s endless originality is inspirational and it both provokes and facilitates the composition of my work. My pieces are handcrafted from start to finish and reflect the cosmic creative flow that comes forth at any given time. Even though I may begin with an idea, I am always surprised to see what finished product comes to fruition. This surrender to the creative process is what gives way to new and unexpected designs.

Being able to share and sell my craft is a dream. Thank you for allowing me to share my crafts(wo)manship with you!
