Rock and this Hard place

We live but We displace

This Rock is our place

but we've grown to disgrace

like fallen crystals, our times not through

What's possible starts with
Healing wounds

It's possible it’s here it's you

Hollow formed by hand this silver beetle holds a bi color Afghanistan tourmaline. With all moveable parts from head and torso to individual legs, this piece makes a statement with the enchanting world in this moss agate drop. The combination of stones with the kinetic spirit of the beetle creates emotional resistance and surpasses strong aggression or overly nurturing emotions, helping to balance male and female energies whenever they become too extreme.
This necklace is the first of a series of Beetle Babies to come.

Cicada and Citrine

Momentary and Serine

These earrings hold fallen cicada hindwings with the gracious healing citrine crystal. The cicada life cycle represents personal change, renewal, rebirth, and transformation. With the help of citrine bringing vitality and a thirst for life this combo embodies the sun on the horizon. Bringing opportunities forth to grow and flourish.

Be still

Natural flora, fungi & insects suspended in resin :

These natural relics are a reminder to the wearer and viewer to take time to connect to our earth and to find presence of your self were the earth stays still.

Hand of a Maker

Just a Tourmaline Dream

Taken for Granted

Like a California Stream

Broken but Working

We do so as Beings

Endemic, my Thesis exhibition consisting mainly of natural found California materials ranging from Yosemite dirt and coastal Redwoods to a Deer jaw from a cactus pit in the dessert. In combination with precious metals, stones and craft the works were geared to cause the wearer to take on a sense of responsibility for their atmosphere. An instant connection to our Mother Earth a piece of something that once thrived grounds you and tells a story of our past. Allowing a connection brings clarity and a clear perspective of the world and your place in it.
