My shop began some years ago as I started to crave a new creative outlet and a new experience. I had always had a high appreciation for beautiful handmade jewelry.

Always passionate about three-dimensional arts like ceramics and sculpture, I also dabble in painting, drawing, card-making, anything experimental and fun.

I absolutely love wire and chain and shell jewelry, and it's even more exciting to use your own shells that you've carried with you through all the years, or just found on the beach and the most inspiring idea popped into your head. My style has changed and goes through phases- right now I do a lot of beading and am learning to love the simple stuff. You will see this attitude reflected in the items I have in my shop currently.

Color is a huge element in my work, as my daily life is surrounded by color, life, and growth. Wind and water elements definitely shine through as well. I love my Maui home and I express that in my work as I try to be as environmentally friendly as I can be, and as I attempt to use my jewelry as a symbol of the perfection of Mother Nature, and as a reminder to respect the beautiful forces that made us and allow us to be here right now! I make many of my own beads and some handblown glass beads are made for me by my partner, Nigel (Poisonglass)

My seashells are definitely a mission to come by, and they continue to get rarer every day! And the gorgeous pheasant feathers I use are locally sourced from a hunter I know in Kula; I picked all of the feathers myself.
Every passing day means for me more time to focus on my art and create something entirely new--
