With Lake Superior as my muse, I create jewelry that connects the soul to these great waters.

Materials are very important to me in my creations. While stones and glass are ignite my curiosity and creativity, I also use high quality metals, handmade porcelain beads and pendants, and authentic pearls and gemstones to achieve the symphony that is each piece of jewelry.

As a naive young girl, I moved to Southern California in search of my happiness. I was focused on a career in the financial industry, forever trekking the endless trail to success. After succumbing to reality from the loss of my job, I realized that I was out of touch with my soul. I was unhappy in a place filled with sunshine, beautiful people, and endless beaches. I was missing creativity in my life, something I had always relied on for strength and clarity, and I was out of balance.

My heart called me back home to Duluth, Minnesota where I have found my passion in beach glass jewelry making. I walk the beaches of Lake Superior, looking for lake tumbled beach glass and smooth stones. As I seek, I also clean, removing the trash that has washed up on shore in an attempt to give back to the Lake that gives me so much.

I get so much joy out of creating, it is a huge part of my everyday life. Besides creating jewelry, I refinish furniture, work on upcycled art, and am a newlywed! I have two fun furry dogs that I adore, Bandit and Nola, a sweet kitty named Neptune who loves to spend time in my studio with me while I create, and an amazing husband that treats me like a queen.

I cannot imagine my life away from this place of wonder, the Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota.

I believe in being eco-friendly in every way that I can, in my home, personal life, and in my business. 100% of my boxes and packing materials are reused. Please take the time to recycle or reuse them again if you can. Styrofoam packing peanuts never break down, and should be reused instead of thrown away. Most cities have a recycling facility that accepts packing peanuts for reshipment.
