Statement pieces that bring a space to life.

In multiple disciplines and mixed media, I love making bold pieces that tell lively visual stories. My artwork is an ongoing relationship with the elements of texture, pattern, color (or non-color) and theme. Typically part of a series, each unique artwork represents an observation or comment on the natural and human worlds as they exist in both harmony and duality.

My passion expresses itself across several active platforms, and I enjoy working in multiple mediums simultaneously. Whether I’m painting, looking through a lens, designing a room or shaping a statement ring… I’m absorbed in a moment of abandon, discovery and awe.

2026 is the year I introduce my first jewelry line, The Harmony Collection. Crafted exclusively in bronze and lab gemstones, each piece is slightly unique due to hand-forming and kiln-firing.  The Harmony Collection is currently available by commission only.

Please enjoy my work and don’t forget to browse the Studio Sale for a chance to purchase handmade jewelry, original paintings and drawings, fine art photography and gifts at 60% off retail.  All jewelry ships free.

My favorite home design projects are restoring hidden gems, repurposed buildings and fixer-uppers with latent potential. An experienced designer-renovator, I have passionately enjoyed transitioning the forgotten into the unforgettable. Each project, major or small, is an exploration far beyond swatches and what’s trending: It’s an opportunity to curate a sacred space.

Home is the center of our existence, where we recharge and nourish ourselves, and space transformation is powerful for a home that supports sensory resonance and well-being. Color, texture, imagery… are only a few of the impactful elements influencing the sensory experience of a room.  Flow vs. stagnation, spacing and the placement of objects all contribute hugely to how we experience our surroundings.

I am a Design Consultant specializing in soul-level home transitions that support a sense of wellbeing. Balancing traditional and holistic means, I partner with you to transform an ordinary or problematic space into one that makes your soul hum.

Curated spaces for peaceful nesting.

  • I love experimenting with textures and how layers of color interplay with rough and raw surfaces. Often I incorporate photography, printed material, image transfers and/or 3D impressions into my oil paintings. Although I prefer working on large canvases and making big marks, I also enjoy using the limitations of smaller surfaces to learn new ways of navigating tighter parameters.

    I tend toward making several pieces in a series that explores a theme. And I love a bold centerpiece for a room to be built around.

  • I make powerful images that ask questions and tell stories. Movement, texture, contrast and balance are what define my images, as well as an editorial signature. Ongoing curiosity and a sense of wonder are the fuel behind my lifelong adventure with photography.

  • When I began finding perfectly-preserved fossil molds in the yard, I was inspired to make castings in sterling, bronze, and copper. Then I partook of a private Arkansas quartz crystal digging experience and came back brimming with inspiration.

    My work in metals, precious and semi-precious gemstones, leather, glass and feathers is inspired by the shapes of things that bring me the most joy in life. And animal totems.

    I make every piece as if it’s for myself, and fall in love with it before making it available. Each cast metal piece is backed with soft leather for comfort against the skin, accompanied by quality gemstones and metal findings that come together as a statement piece.

  • I raise beautiful heritage breed ducks, geese and chickens and they are my loves. During the molt season, their pasture is a treasure trove of colorful plumage of varying sizes and textures. A nearby tree plays host every September to invasive wild grapevines that I twist into beautiful wreaths and decorate meticulously.

    And I farm an array of cut flower types that dry beautifully for arranging in vintage vessels.

    And other things that inspire me.

  • Public space projects excite me because although they are permanent installations, they exist to define a space of constant movement, impermanence.

    My public space installations reflect the energy, action and impermanence of life forms, and the beauty of their cyclical life stages.

  • I can make something very special for your space or I can assemble a collection of curated works with friends and colleagues.
