I have been making jewelry and practicing Calligraphy for 17years. I have had the unique opportunity to participate in IAMPETH (International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting) and take Calligraphy Intensives with Michael Sulls, Linda Schnider, Reggie Ezzel, and White House Calligrapher, Pat Blair. Over the next 10 years, I extended my knowledge and skills of other calligraphy hands and developed my own style. In addition to Calligraphy, I design jewelry. My designs are unique, one of a kind handcrafted jewelry using high quality materials such as precious metals, stones, and genuine leather. I frequently incorporate other art mediums and calligraphy in my designs. Many of my designs are inspired by the ocean, beach and nature. In January of 2021, I decided to follow my dreams and turn my passion into a business. I pride myself in quality craftsmanship, and don't believe in mass production. My belief is that every one is special, and wanted to create jewelry that is as unique and special as you are!
