Jewelry lovers over the world will tell you how stones captivate them--I am certainly no exception! Often, my inspiration comes from the stone itself--the color, shape, or a pattern within the stone will speak to me of a place or element of nature that I feel a connection to, and off I go to create!

I grew up spending a lot of time outdoors, and became very curious and aware of my surroundings. That curiosity sparked my love of flora and fauna from all over the world--from the Pacific Northwest, to the Sierra Nevadas, and even places like Australia and Italy. Inspiration is everywhere.

Since I am a one-woman show, I find that I work best when I am creating and releasing "mini-collections." These tend to be centered around a type of stone or a theme, like the above collection. Much of what I make is One of a Kind, with a few core elements that are growing.
