About

     I have always been driven by a deep desire to travel and explore, a passion that serves as the foundation of my creative inspiration. Growing up in a small town in New Hampshire, I spent much of my childhood immersed in nature, adventuring through the woods and collecting special objects. This love for discovery has stayed with me, fueling my explorations across California and Central America in recent years.

     The California Collection was born from the natural treasures I found in some of my favorite places throughout the state. On a road trip to Big Sur, Northern California, and Pioneertown, I sought out the perfect objects to inspire and shape the unique pieces in this special collection.

     Each piece I create begins with a natural object, carefully hand-carved, cast, and finished in small batches here in California. From sculpting and metal-smithing to the final polishing touches, all jewelry is meticulously crafted in my Los Angeles studio, with the castings hand-poured in San Francisco.

Thank you for your interest in my work.
