I make every piece of jewelry<br />
completely by hand in my<br />
studio in Bend, Oregon. I have<br />
always been passionate about<br />
the arts and it is my goal to<br />
introduce people to jewelry<br />
that is not only beautiful and<br />
easy to wear but is of high<br />
quality craftsmanship.<br />
Every piece is inspired by<br />
nature, family, and friends. I<br />
hand craft jewelry made for<br />
everyday wear that is alluring,<br />
inspiring and symbolizes the<br />
joy and love in life.<br />
Simple lines and contrasting<br />
colors make my work unique<br />
and provocative. All of my<br />
work is made of sterling<br />
silver and high karat gold. My<br />
favorite techniques involve<br />
hammering the metal to add<br />
texture and adding gold to<br />
the surface of certain pieces<br />
with a technique called keum<br />
boo which brings each piece<br />
to life.<br />
