I am a sculptor & goldsmith living & working in Southern California. I was raised in Los Angeles and inherited a deep appreciation of art, artifacts, natural history, literature, and playfulness. My creative practice ranges from working in the abstract with stones like marble and onyx, to working at the intimate scale of jewelry in precious metals. I've always been drawn to an aesthetic that is organic, gestural & loose. I look often to nature, to the shapes of bones or shells, and to the movement of bodies to glean fragments of forms & figures that might make their way into my work.

In my studio, I hand-carve each piece with the belief that jewelry should be both timeless and profoundly personal. Making objects that have an intimate relationship to the body is part of how I create meaning.

Each piece is made in Los Angeles.
