I love gathering nature’s treasures and giving them new life through playful assemblage. There’s something deeply grounding about working with elements shaped by wind, water, and time; it’s like collaborating with nature itself. I am fascinated by the textures and designs in shells, stones, seaweed, driftwood, sticks, and weathered wood. I work intuitively with found elements, allowing the story to emerge as I create each piece.

“Stone Flower on Weathered Wood”
This piece brings together the softness of time-worn materials.
I positioned the petal-shaped river rocks to form cheerful blooms lifted by twig stems, and grounded by tiny pebbles.
The flowers rest on a plank of aged wood salvaged from an old shed that once stood in an abandoned New England lumber yard.
With every crack and grain, the board tells a story of work, weather, and the passage of time.
Curious Tide Creatures
Born of ocean whispers and beachcomber dreams from the shores of New England. These playful assemblages are crafted from Atlantic beach stones, driftwood, shells, and seaweed. Each figure is hand-painted and carries the spirit of the tide.
Tide-Touched Pendants
Each pendant reflects the spirit of the Atlantic coast. I blend found stones and shells from New England’s rocky shores with delicate gems. Naturally smoothed stones and ocean-kissed shells are wrapped by hand with wire, and gently adorned with semi-precious gemstones, adding a touch of sparkle to the sea-worn beauty. These tiny treasures speak of salt air, shifting tides, and days spent wandering the shore.
