I am a contemporary jewelry artist and metalsmith whose work is inspired by natural forms, celestial bodies, and the rhythms that connect people to the world around them. I am interested in the ways our bodies interact with both organic and manufactured structures, from the movement of water across a landscape to the patterns found in stone, metal, and the night sky. Growing up in Oklahoma and spending much of my life exploring the Southwest, I developed an appreciation for the rich traditions of handmade jewelry and craftsmanship found throughout Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. These influences continue to inform the forms, textures, and materials I use to create wearable jewelry that feels both grounded and personal.

My appreciation for handmade jewelry began with my grandmother, who shared her collection with me and taught me to value craftsmanship, quality materials, and the stories objects can carry across generations. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Jewelry and Metalsmithing from the University of Central Oklahoma in 2016. I spent over a year apprenticing in a jewelry and metals studio in Oklahoma City’s Paseo Arts District, where I further developed my fabrication and studio practices. 

For more than ten years, my private collection has also been carried by a shop in Georgetown, Colorado, and I have worked as both an independent jewelry artist and a contract jeweler in Oklahoma City and Denver, Colorado. Through these experiences, I have developed a practice rooted in craftsmanship, wearability, and attention to detail.

My work incorporates Argentium and recycled sterling silver, natural gemstones, hand-fabricated chain, forging, wirework, and traditional stone-setting techniques. As a contemporary craft artist, I value the connection between maker, material, and wearer. My goal is to create meaningful adornment that celebrates skilled handwork, regional craft traditions, and the beauty found in both natural and human-made environments.
