I love the idea of repurposing vintage and costume jewelry into unique one-of-a-kind works of art. Each piece of jewelry/beading is specifically chosen and hand placed to create the overall silhouette art, while still allowing viewers to see the individual elements.
Recycling Materials
I aim to use all parts of the jewelry including chains, clasps, and other notions to minimize waste. Every time you look at my finished works you may notice something new.

Thrift Shops & Estate Sales
I also get to combine my love for travelling and experiencing new places with finding inspiration by visiting local thrift shops and estate sales.
Custom Orders

Custom orders are an amazing way to help someone transform an image or object they hold dear into a different beautiful medium. Here is one example of a mother and child elephant.
The source object serves as inspiration for my artistic interpretation using different color pieces to differentiate between mother and child.
