Our Story
"Jewelry fresh off the bench in the PA Wilds "
Juried Pennsylvania Wilds Artisan Creating Fresh Daily
I am an autodidact or self taught. I describe myself as an artisan coming from PA Wilds Roots with Rural Organic style. The working studio is housed in our home and focuses on ‘made by these hands’ designs, inspired by nature These pieces carry with them a sense of place. digging in the garden, hiking in the PA Wilds, shopping for fresh produce at the local farmers’ market, enjoying an IPA at a craft brewery or antiquing on Main Street. These designs are reminders of our downtime.
Coming from a family of ‘makers’ including woodworkers, fiber artisans, cooks, and gardeners, I have chosen precious metals over wood shavings. The working studio allows for metalwork, mixed media, fiber art, displays, workshops, PA Wilds events, and other artistic endeavor.
"Over the years my jewelry and mixed media techniques have continually drawn inspiration from those rural traditions that were once everyday life for our ancestors. A more tactile life or being a part of the process of just living, has become a need in this age of technology for me and so many others. The act of making with our hands utilitarian wares or more refined artistic works, from beginning to end, has become a way of living."
