Artist Statement: Jewelry making has been a formational journey for me that started in a dark time in my life and continues to evolve.
After losing my boyfriend in a car accident, my jewelry making classes turned into therapy. They allowed me to work through my grief and create as I navigated life without him.
I studied both here and in Florence, Italy and graduated from Grand Valley State University. In 2019 I was awarded the Halstead Grant -a prestigious national grant for emerging jewelry artists.
My loss fiercely grounds my work. We all have stories ¿½ we all have the hard stuff. That is one of the reasons I do this-to connect with people, share my story and hope that my path to jewelry making can be an example of what happens when you open yourself up to being led in spite of your grief.
