I've always had a love of collecting stones. I wire wrapped them for a while, and then I learned metalsmithing. I've been continuing to hone my skills since 2016. Now, I work mostly with Sterling Silver, and I have learned lapidary to create my own cabochons. I still make minimalist earrings with simple ear wires in titanium and silver, and beaded bracelets with gemstones and wood, but designing o
ne of kind pieces of jewelry is what excites me the most. I'm a leukemia, bone marrow transplant, and breast cancer survivor. I create primarily as a form of art therapy. Anything I earn is reinvested for supplies. I live below poverty level in order to maintain some form of healthcare. The stress of living like this has taken a toll on my mental and physical health. I truly wish that I could grow my business without these limitations placed upon me. I wish we had universal healthcare for all. I wish that I could be successful enough to not only afford a home of my own, but to become a philanthropist and help others live a more meaningful existence. I'm just throwing this out the Universe! I am grateful to be alive, for the health of my pets, and the ability to work with my hands to quiet my mind. Thank you to those who support my endeavors! I value your business, it keeps me going!
