“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”

— Rumi

I am an artist. I have created art in various forms throughout my life. I have made drawings, paintings, etchings. I am presently creating art in the form of jewelry. Jewelry is a deeply personal way of connecting with other people.I am expressing my “self” when I create a piece. You express your “self” when you wear a piece of jewelry. It is an experience shared. It is tactile. It is individualistic. It is powerful. I love the connection my art/jewelry creates between me, as the artist, and you, the wearer…and from you, the wearer, to others! When a woman wears a piece of jewelry she is making a subtle but very powerful statement about herself. Jewelry truly is an expression of a woman. A woman’s personal adornment speaks about her before she ever begins talking. I try to create jewelry that speaks quietly, with a simple power and sophistication with a nod towards traditional forms of art. I often use stamps in my designs. The stamps are handmade by several generations of Navajo artisans. These artists inspire me. They inspire my art. When I use these stamps while designing my jewelry, there is a connection to the traditional shapes and motifs of Native American jewelry while transitioning into new forms of narration. I hope when you wear a piece of my jewelry you feel powerful and beautiful and deeply connected to art, artists and yourself. I don’t create jewelry for everyone. I create one of a kind jewelry for “one of a kind” people.
