I blend artistry and craftsmanship as a GIA Graduate Gemologist, fine artist, designer, and children's book author. My work celebrates nature, storytelling, and resilience—creating pieces that bring joy, imagination, and lasting inspiration.

My unique artistic approach captures how light interacts with water and clouds, creating pieces that seem to shimmer and move as you view them from different angles.

The Art of Capturing Light

My artistic technique creates a unique visual experience where water appears to shimmer and clouds seem to move as you view the artwork from different angles and in changing light conditions.

This "Shimmers of Light" effect transforms static scenes into dynamic experiences, allowing you to connect with nature's fleeting moments of beauty in your everyday spaces.
