Treescapes.
It all started with a stone, a dendritic opal where tiny little dendrites formed a delicate tree shape, similar to the pendant here.
From that original piece, the Treescape series has grown and evolved. Now I add leaf cut outs to the designs. Some have stones, others do not.
One of the many talents my father had was creating beautiful, natural landscapes with the trees and shrubs. I watched him as he worked. The care he took instilled a deep love of nature in me.
Now I feel as if I am the landscaper, following in his footsteps, paying respect to trees and plants. I think he would love this collection and I hope it resonates with you.
Celestial.
When my husband and I were in Bandon Beach Oregon, one evening we walked the beach and were able to see the great expanse of the Milky Way. The ocean waves created the most beautiful chorus as meteors streaked by. Stars and planets flickered. I felt so small. It was a wondrous experience. Little did I know that the seeds for this collection were being planted.
Celestial is a combination of stones, gold accents, and textures. The metal is my canvas where I try to enhance the beauty of the materials I use.
The next time you look at the night sky, maybe you will see what I have tried to capture in these works.
Relationships.
The basis for this series came as a result of my experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic. I realized how important the connections we have with one another are. Those relationships should never be taken for granted.
Early one morning as I was preparing for the day, I was given a design by my Creator. Thankfully I was able to execute what I saw in my mind’s eye and Relationships came to fruition.
All of the pieces are from hand fabricated fine silver with gold accents and some faceted gemstones. These highlights represent the joy & love we experience in this life journey. The twists and turns of the metal are an illustration of the peaks and valleys we traverse during our life. Some of the metal touch points show how individual meet, develop relationships that last for a moment or even a lifetime.
I hope you find this series as fascinating as I do.
Spirited.
The Spirited Collection. Designed for the independent, feisty, wild, untamed, and yes…spirited person who knows who they are and that’s that!
Each piece in this collection is unique, one of a kind adornment.
With a touch of a BoHo look and feel, they are meant to allow the wearer to express joy.
Botanicals.
The technique used in this collection is the ancient art of Chasing & Repousse. It is labor intensive, yet you can see the delicate beauty the happens when the metal is moved into intricate shapes.
