For over fifteen years I have owned and operated my own shop creating ready-made and custom jewellery and repairs. More recently, I opened a quaint 98 sq ft studio and showroom in historic downtown Windsor, NS where I continue to offer a variety of services revolving around unique design and quality artistry.

 

Sculpturally based, my work is created using traditional goldsmithing techniques combined with the latest technology like microscopic stone-setting. My work is a result of the freedom of exploration within the materials and is inspired by the human experience, emotions and patterns found in nature. Over the years I have been honing my craft to offer handcrafted gold and silver jewellery incorporating unique processes and often including precious gemstones.

 

In the winter of 2023, my husband and I moved to his home province where I have been continuing my education and immersing myself into the art community. Since moving to Nova Scotia, I have been attending NSCAD in Halifax, NS where I have been working part-time to receive by BFA in Jewellery Design and Metalsmithing with the goal of eventually teaching. I previously graduated with honours from the Studio Jewellery and Small Object Design program at the Kootenay School of the Arts in Nelson, BC. I have also completed various courses from the Alberta College of Art and Design, obtained a Diamond Essentials certificate from the Gemological Institute of America and a stone-setting certificate from Blain Lewis' New Approach School for Jewellers in Tennessee, USA.

I look forward to working with you,
