I enjoy using a variety of materials in my pieces, searching out antiques and natural stones with unique facets and coloring to inspire new collections. Taking special care to source a variety of quality stones and gems from international gem shows, Hong Kong and Arizona. Some of my favorite natural stones include rare pictured jasper source from Briggs Canyon, Oregon. There is so much beauty and joy found in the process of cutting and polishing natural stone, revealing what lies underneath. I hope each piece reflects how nature’s own textures and hues have inspired me.
