With a home base in Elko New Market , I am a Minnesotan metalsmith that has been making jewelry professionally since 1999. I love working with sterling silver and natural rocks gathered from around the Great Lakes area . The ritual of gathering the rocks is integral to my craft. I flow between searching for specific rocks for a piece I have in mind, to designing based on whatever rocks I happen to come across in my exploration. The interaction between nature and adornment is something I strive to convey in my jewelry. I love to take these basic natural elements and transform them into something even more beautiful for others to enjoy.
