About

I’m a full time metalsmith working in Asheville, North Carolina. I got my BFA in craft/material studies from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2007 and since then have bounced around Virginia, Guatemala, Montana, and landed here in NC a few years ago. I create jewelry and small sculpture out of steel and sterling silver inspired by the urban landscape- especially Xela, Guatemala. Check out the links to the right to see what’s for sale on my Etsy page, see my entire portfolio on my webpage, or be my friend on Facebook. I have some talented and creative friends making work in all kinds of media, their links on the bottom right are worth checking out!

I share a studio with Matthew Smith in Pink Dog Creative- an inspiring and supportive community of artists of all different backgrounds in the brightest building you ever did see. If you’re in Asheville or visiting we’d love you to come by!

I design and make jewelry for The Blooming Rose Foundation, a non-profit organization helping families of children with cystic fibrosis. Go to this link, read the story, buy some jewelry- proceeds go to the foundation!

In 2008 I lived in Guatemala, helping women make jewelry and set up a line of fair trade crafts. 100% of proceeds go to the Highland Support Project, empowering indigenous women in the Highlands of Guatemala. Buy it here:
