I am a full time student finishing up my Art Education Degree. I
recently quit my job to work in the studio doing what I enjoy most.
Just outside my studio is our organic garden. I practice a
sustainable living by growing my own food, composting, reusing, and
recycling. In this world of mass production, I have become a strong
advocate for supporting handmade art and locally grown, organic
produce.
I have been collecting rocks my entire life. In 2002, I began
traveling the United States prospecting at numerous mines. I learned
the basics of silversmithing while briefly working as an apprentice
under a bench jeweler. My skills progressed and were self-taught. I
am a member of MAGMA as well as the Athens Gem and Mineral Club. My
goal is to share my love for rocks and minerals and continue
learning the art of lapidary.
