I make resin, resin/wire and wood/resin objects including jewelry, mobiles, small tables and decorative bowls. Each piece is hand crafted and unique, often combining natural elements or objects.
My jewelry includes pendants, necklaces and earrings with feminist or woman centered designs or themes. I also make tie tacks and cuff links.
My tables and charcuterie boards contain walnut, maple or beech wood sourced from my own property, salvaged from downed trees and trees cut to build my house. Each piece is selected for its grain and character and hand finished by me. I prefer to work with wood that is not clean straight grain but has knots, twists and other “imperfections” because I am drawn to the character and dimension of such wood.
