Artist Bio

I’m a full-time registered nurse and self-taught silversmith based in Bend, Oregon. Silversmithing began as a creative outlet and quickly became a source of joy and balance in my life. Over the past several years, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the process — from shaping metal to setting each stone by hand.

I’m especially drawn to the individuality of natural gemstones and the way each one seems to suggest its own design. My work centers around that relationship between metal and stone — creating jewelry that feels grounded, intentional, and connected to the natural world.

When I’m not at my bench, I’m often outside exploring the landscapes that inspire my pieces: the high desert, mountain light, and the quiet colors of Oregon’s open spaces.
