Organic structures echo memories, emotions, and everyday interactions. My process of creation is a mechanism to cope with humanity and my own reality. I look at different forms of nature to inspire my work; free-flowing motion, unique textures, and intricate curves. As a result, every form incarnates an existence or remembrance.
As I learn to acclimate myself to my surroundings and cope with various situations, I romanticize the talents of countless plants and insects. I admire their abilities to adapt to their surroundings and protect themselves from their environments. Nature has a beautiful way of embracing change, growth, and strength. Certain unique and resilient characteristics of so many seemingly fragile things are enthralling to me.
Fragments of nature such as plants, bones, and insects give a treasured and vulnerable existence. Intricate curves, connections, and details follow an intuitive thought process as I harmonize my resources with my metal forms.

Bio
I graduated from Edinboro University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, focus in Metals, in 2019 and stayed an additional year for a Post-Baccalaureate opportunity. During my time there, I discovered my love for metalsmithing. I currently live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where I keep busy in my studio, teach classes, and work as a jeweler.
