I am inspired by the flow of life. Every painting has intention and healing aspects. I like to dabble with vintage Jewelry and bold colors and textures. The jewelry i create is unique one of a kind using metals copper , silver many different shapes and colors of raw crystals and gemstones. That’s you! When you were created, you were created with the intent to stand out, to be different, set apart. You were created Special. You are Treasured. Therefore, you are to do nothing less than exude the best. From your head to your feet, you should be covered in royalty. Royalty begins in your mind.

“ A collection of handmade jewelry inspired by the powerful, beautiful ocean waves the irregularity of crystals from semi precious to very precious stones with a flow of breezy bohemian style. “

A grand rapids native. Professional abstract artist i have worked in the jewelry industry and am a freelance artist designer catch me this summer at Fulton street artisan market! Highschool silver key winner of scholastic art fair broadcasting morning announcements since middle school learning my artistic talent was always bold different out there people could say but i kept going and look where i am growing and learning still to this day . i enjoy ceramics and i work with electroforming which is like a science experiment and grow metal on crystals and found objects

As an artist and designer I draw inspiration from irregular shapes and tropical places. I have wandered along the white, sandy beaches of Florida – finding lost jewelry, collecting shells, and mesmerize in the light blue ocean waves. It is when my mind is able to find peace. When I am back in my studio I think of bling – sourcing unique gemstones and thinking about how they are formed in geologic time into distinct colors variegated from light to dark.
I love to experiment with colors, patterns , textures in garments. My biggest specialty is accessorizing existing outfits to create more then one look. I love to work with people and make them feel their most possible best in their own skin. Enjoy shopping and helping friends and family pick outfits that are all flattering to bodies type.
I have experience in broadcast, make up and a bachelors of fine arts in metals and jewelry design. I have expertise in lapidary work, diamonds, different style and cuts of gemstone and metals. I can help create one of a kind piece to last forever. My fashion studies expertise brings my knowledge of colors textures and different sewing techniques to the table to help provide knowledge and a style and mood board of what specific look the costumer is looking For.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Hang at skellatones get a local show in and eat at stellas for a nice burger and founders brewery for some good beers
