I have always loved water, waterfalls, the ocean, the sea, and the Great Lakes. As a child, I played in muddy creeks, rivers, oceans, even the rain. The sound of waves, running rivers and water falls always brings me peace. I would run to nature and breathe her peace. The water somehow soothed the chaos of the world around me.

Today, I still make nature inspired dainty jewelry but, I added my love for water into the recipe. Another friend taught me how to find beach/sea glass. Thanks Pat! If I said I was over the moon for sea glass that would be an understatement. Sea glass has a story. Each piece is unique and unlike any other piece. It is one of a kind. The glass is discarded in a body of water and nature beats it, breaks it, and smooths off its rough edges. And it takes a very long time. I have been privileged enough to travel all over and find sea glass to use in my jewelry. Who doesn’t love a good story?

Being part of the jewelry industry has been more than running a business for me—it’s been a deeply meaningful learning experience rooted in the artisan community. I love being surrounded by creatives who value craftsmanship, storytelling, and intention, and who are always willing to share knowledge, techniques, and encouragement. Through this community, I’ve learned not just how to grow as a maker, but how to appreciate the time, care, and history behind every handmade piece. Supporting fellow artisans and being supported in return has shaped how I approach my work, reminding me that this industry is built on collaboration, passion, and a shared love for creating things that truly matter.
