Tell us a lilliputian chip nigh you. Where did yous develop or report in addition to what led yous to the path yous currently are on?
I genuinely receive got a scientific discipline background in addition to I’m currently completing my MSc inwards Pediatrics. But my arts friends receive got ever called me the pseudo-science student, in addition to my interests receive got ever split downwardly the middle (if you’ll convey the visit of science/art dichotomy). I’ve been making jewelry since I was 10 years sometime (I used to sell it on the bus) in addition to it’s something I’ve ever gone dorsum to. Right later finishing upwardly my undergrad, I spent nearly a calendar month inwards the infirmary because of a iv calendar month bout of missed appendicitis. Then I was out, graduated, unemployed—and on bed rest. I pulled out my beads in addition to went at it difficult to distract myself from the hurting in addition to boredom. The residuum is history!
What's your principal focus currently and/or how would yous depict your electrical flow pattern aesthetic?
I’ve ever been attracted to rocks inwards their natural form, in addition to I genuinely appreciate, irregular, manus faceted stones that follow the lines of natural crystal formations. I also dearest how they’re to a greater extent than affordable, in addition to that’s ane of my aims—to create unique, beautiful pieces that don’t blow the bank. I’m fresh out of a few silversmithing classes in addition to then I’m crazy nigh cheap metals similar raw brass in addition to copper in addition to pairing them amongst my rocks!
Love your travel - tin yous explicate that pattern process?
I experience similar a tike inwards a candy store when I await at my stone in addition to bead collection. I ever commencement amongst the colours, which rocks in addition to beads are a natural pairing, in addition to which metallic compliments them best. I form of simply lay everything out in addition to acquire at it.
What designers/makers/architects, etc practise yous await upwardly to, are influenced past times or inspire you?
Really dearest DePetra jewelry
And Jeanie Andronyk is a personal favourite
Where else practise yous line inspiration from?
I intend equally a prairie girl, yous larn to appreciate the minimalism of our landscape…lots of negative infinite in addition to openness, but yous also crave the exact opposite—over the top, tropical, unusual design, heavy inwards materials in addition to shapes in addition to colours. It’s how I’d depict my ain fashion too—completely divided betwixt uncomplicated in addition to construct clean in addition to a go-big-or-go-home attitude. And then I’d tell both the exotic in addition to the everyday locale in addition to the shapes in addition to colours associated amongst those are huge inspirations.
