I just love making things.
Honestly though, all I ever think about is the next thing I want to make.
I split my time between making sculptures & fine jewelry. I studied sculpture at San Francisco State University, and have had the honor of doing three artist residencies - NCY 2012, Budapest 2015, and Mexico City in 2019. My work has been largely figurative, within both clay & textile. I currently work out of my studio in Los Angeles.
Since 2015 I’ve been running my company Dear Survivor, a sustainable jewelry label. I work with recycled 14k gold & ethically sourced gemstones & diamonds. All my designs are carved in wax and transformed to gold using the ancient technique of lost wax casting.
My creative journey reflects my curiosities, and it’s fun and surprising to see where that leads me.
