I am a self-taught jewelry designer whose practice began more than twenty years ago as a way to process grief and blossomed into a radiant expression of joy. Working from my Great Falls studio, I use vintage beads, crystals, semi-precious gemstones, luminous pearls and metals to create bespoke and one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry. Vintage tins rescued from flea markets and recycle bins find new life in my hands: I cut, shape, and polish tiny tin canvases into wearable art that is equal parts sparkle and upcycled swagger. And because creativity is contagious, I love to open my studio doors for hands-on workshops and design sessions. I also specialize in reimagining heirloom and sentimental jewelry - delicate brooches, cherished lockets and charms, strands of beads - transformed into fresh, modern silhouettes that honor memory while speaking to today’s fashion aesthetic. Every project is a collaboration: I guide you through sketches and material selections as your vision takes shape. Whether you are craving jewelry that tells your story or itching to roll up your sleeves and make your own jewelry, let’s create your next heirloom together.
