Artist Statement

Since childhood I've sculpted and carved, taught by my father. I would spend hours making figures in clay. As an adult I moved to cast concrete, steel, wood and glass. I was introduced to jewelry making in the 90’s and fell in love with the idea of a sculpture made to be worn. The challenge of creating something uniquely beautiful, comfortable and well made captured my imagination. Because its art, its story telling emboddied in materials.

I’m an artist living in the woods. On my morning hike I might see a family of river otter playing on the bank or a great blue heron patiently fishing from a rock. The basalt cliffs dripping with ground water, painted with mosses and sprouting wild flowers from the cracks remind of how Life adapts and persists. I always bring my camera with me. (to check out my photography click here). The biodiversity and rustic landscape of the Klickitat has inspired my art for almost three decades.

It’s important for me to create an environmentally friendly business. I’m always looking for ways to make beautiful jewelry for my customers and minimize the impact my art has on the Earth. I think of it as a Path Toward Sustainability because I feel that it’s an evolving journey and challenge to find balance.
