Handcrafted Jewelry and Metalwork
“Our goal is to provide an answer to the yearning for individuality in a mass produced world.”
I meet with clients to exchange ideas and discuss concepts from which are created elegant and imaginative works of art that are unique and meaningful to them. I work with a wide range of materials, including gold, silver, precious and semi-precious stones, exotic woods, and other natural materials.
Born and raised in Taos, New Mexico, I grew up surrounded by art and artists; my father was an accomplished furniture maker and my mother an art enthusiast. I graduated from UNM with a BA in Fine Arts. I also studied metalsmithing at the Toledo Museum of Art School of Design under Alan Melis.

Southwestern Metalwork
Deriving from my Taos, New Mexico roots, I’ve designed pieces that call to the Southwestern Spirit.
