I became obsessed with jewelry when I was twelve years old. My father was photographing an emerald pendant, and I was enraptured by the vivid green of the stone and the rich luster of the gold. What was first viewed with the doe eyed innocence of age became my lifelong pursuit. This pursuit has allowed me to work with my artistic heroes like Royjohn Bolduc and Pat Flynn. It has led me all over the country and spread my art across the world. My jewelry has been worn by celebrities, olympians, and, most importantly, the ones I love. When I make jewelry I think of my family, my dearest friends, and those who are lost. I endeavor to take the long held traditions of makers that came before me and bring them into the modern world. I see my work as an examination of the human condition. I seek to strip away the superfluous, worship the intangible, and to capture the tormentous emotions that are often left unsaid; an effort that seeks to cut the gordian knot between the material and the immaterial, the finite and the infinite. My hope is that when wearing my work, the adorned will find solace in the archaic power within themselves.
