Adorn Your Body and Awaken Your
Spirit.
Colors and shapes from deep within the earth attract your eye and call to your heart;connecting you with the energies of the planet. Each unique piece is handmade in a very personal response to the fossils and gemstones. Nature's palette provides the paint for my jewelry designs. I am inspired by the the interplay of energies created by combinations of Diamonds, Opals, Druses, and unusual gemstones, as well as the familiar, such as Lapis, Amethyst, and Tourmalines. My bond with the earth's treasures began when I merged geology with East Asian religious studies at Indiana University. Although mostly self-taught, an intensive course in jewellry at Penland Art School increased my technical knowledge of silver and goldsmithing. My portfolio is mostly comprised of one-of-a-kind and custom pieces, with a few of my more popular styles in limited editions. For custom designed earrings, bracelets, pendants and rings, contact me at 812-824-6184 or PO Box 163 Clear Creek, IN 47426. I invite you to browse the online gallery shown to the left. Each piece can be looked at in an enlarged view and I have inclued a description of the stones and materials from which they are made. When visiting Southern Indiana, I encourage you to stop in Bloomington and visit the By Hand Gallery at 109 Fountain Square (just south of the square). There, you will find many of my current works on display. You may also find me at one of the many arts and crafts fairs around the country where I sell my designs.For a calendar of events click here Precious and semi-precious gemstones forged from within the earth refined and set in handcrafted silver and gold truly ornaments for the body and spirit.
