At nine years old I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up, where I would be living, or how big of an effect an art store would have on my future. On any given afternoon I would walk by the window of the local art shop, and in the window the most breathtaking and magical array of crystals would transport me to a world of beauty, peace, and simplicity. As the sun touched the crystal every color imaginable would glisten in the light; warming me to the core. There was magic in this window…

Two years later my father passed away suddenly. I felt a darkness so deep it seemed debilitating. Everything in my childhood seemed like it was spinning… After my father passed away I felt lost, but when I would walk by that art store and stop at the window I was engulfed in beauty. I felt a balance- a stillness and found the inspiration for my work.

 So today when I sit down to design a new piece, or when I start working on my new line I reconnect with that feeling. Pieces for me are not complete unless I get that same feeling from the colors and textures as I did as a young girl. Beauty comes in many forms, and everyone deserves to have a piece. For me beauty is a feeling- a vibration.

 I am inspired today by: the moon as it touches falling snowflakes, two unlikely colors that join to create a symbiotic feel, the look in my two children’s eyes after a long day or hard time… that look that says, “Mom I love you,” or when a customer comes up and says, “Hey that piece I got from you I wear all the time, and every time I wear it I just feel good!” The creation of my line is partly physical, partly visual, and partly emotional/vibrational; when I feel those three things I know the piece is complete.
