At 18, I set out on a journey across the United States, searching for something that would ignite my spirit and give my life purpose. That quest led me to the vibrant heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico—a place where history and culture blend in a way that captivates the soul. Walking through its streets, surrounded by the rich fusion of Mediterranean and Native American architecture, I felt an undeniable connection to both the past and present. It was in those moments that I discovered my true calling: to express this inspiration through the art of jewelry.
This discovery was more than just a spark—it was a fire that fueled my passion. But I knew that passion alone wouldn’t be enough. To turn my vision into something truly extraordinary, I needed to master the craft. So, I immersed myself in the world of jewelry design. Under the guidance of a skilled mentor, I learned that while talent is important, true excellence comes from patience and dedication. Through countless hours of sketching, shaping, and refining, I came to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the jewelry-making process.
To bring my vision to life, I pursued a degree from the American Jeweler Association, where I honed the foundational techniques of my craft. My exploration led me to discover my unique style—a harmonious blend of natural stones and precious metals that reflects the essence of who I am. This journey took me further, to GIA, where I deepened my understanding of gemstones, learning to select and work with the finest materials nature has to offer. The result is jewelry that isn’t just beautiful, but timeless—pieces that carry the essence of the earth and the spirit of craftsmanship.
When I arrived in Cody, Wyoming, I knew I had found my true home. The rugged beauty of the surrounding landscapes—the deserts, mountains, rivers, and volcanoes—resonated deeply with me, providing endless inspiration. It was here that I established my art studio and showroom, a space where my passion could thrive and where my creations could come to life.
Today, my work is displayed in fine galleries from Aspen to Vail, Santa Fe to Scottsdale. Each piece I create is a reflection of my journey, my values, and the beauty I see in the world around me. My jewelry isn’t just an accessory—it’s a work of art, a statement, and a lasting treasure. When you wear my creations, you’re not just buying a piece of jewelry; you’re investing in a story, a craft, and a passion that spans years of dedication and love for the art.
To those who have made my work part of their lives, I offer my deepest gratitude. Your support allows me to continue this journey, and it’s an honor to create pieces that become part of your story. I invite you to explore my collection, to find that piece that resonates with you, and to carry a part of this journey with you, wherever life takes you.
