I’ve always had a reverence for nature and learned to appreciate it at a young age. I would spend the day turning over rocks, finding interesting textured bark and collecting unique leaves. People tend to look at nature with their souls and accept it without wanting to change it and we should do the same with ourselves and others. My jewelry makes that connection between woman and nature and reminds women to embrace who they are in the moment and encourages them to be confident as they carve their path through life. My primary medium is silver metal clay. Simply, metal clay is fine silver particles suspended in a non-toxic organic binder and water. Like in pottery, it can be formed, textured and fired leaving the original form in pure silver. I was drawn to its versatility because it allows me the flexibility to translate the many depths of nature into wearable sculpture. Whether painting it on leaves found out in the woods on a walk with my dog or using it in a syringe to hand draw flowers and other natural elements, metal clay allows for my organic style. Occasionally, I will add natural raw gemstones, pearls and other natural accents to complement the silver. True beauty is being unapologetically you and I want women to celebrate this and be comfortable wearing my unique designs knowing they evoke a feeling of warmth and empowerment.
