Welcome!

I create etched sterling silver jewelry in my West Lafayette, Indiana studio. My work begins with materials such as sterling silver sheet, wire and chain which I transform into jewelry using traditional metalsmithing techniques. The artwork and lettering for my etched pieces are first created with pen (or brush) and ink on paper. I enjoy hand lettering all of the text for my pieces (no stamps or computer fonts are used). I transfer my original calligraphy and hand drawn designs to the silver which I then etch to create unique, tactile pieces of jewelry. Each piece is created one at a time and therefore no two are exactly alike.

My work embraces thoughtful words, celebrates nature, and reflects upon life well lived. I hope you will enjoy my jewelry!
