About Us


  
I am a stay-at-home mom who fell in love with jewelry and jewelry design by accident. A University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill graduate, I worked in several different fields before attending Hollins University’s graduate creative writing program. Shortly after graduating, I had my daughter Georgia (now 7) and my son Henry (5). Then I learned something surprising -- taking care of small children is not conducive to writing the great American novel!

A few years ago, I turned my creative impulses towards designing and making jewelry, first for my friends and family. Happily, my work found a broader audience, and here I am.

My fine silver and bronze pieces are hand-crafted in my studio, often from molds I have made from vintage buttons and costume jewelry. I am drawn to images of animals and nature, and the beautiful mountains of my home in Southwest Virginia provide continual inspiration. I hope you enjoy wearing my work as much as I enjoy making it.
