I have always been an artist. From the constant drawing in grade school to the realization that it was much more of a lifestyle in college. I earned a design degree from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington and went on to become a successful graphic designer, but my heart continued to long for the ability to create tangible works of art with my hands and not just through the click of a mouse. After many years of letting Alchemy Artworks sit vacant...I Finally decided that I was going to put my heart and soul into making my jewelry business a success.

I have always been an inquisitive person, which has let me to study so many different facets of metalwork and jewelry making. In my shop you will see many different types of items and processes used such as ironwork, enameling and anodizing. As I continue I hope to combine all of these processes to create works that are groundbreaking and one of a kind.

How did I become a blacksmith?
My first experience with blacksmithing was in a high school shop class where I made a simple chisel. The experience left an impression on me. I loved the feeling of being able to shape the metal. Fast forward 10 years later... I found an advertisement for a blacksmithing workshop at a local forge and took it. This was the spark that lit the fire. Since then I have become a member of The Prairie Blacksmiths Association and have studied with several master smiths including Clay Spencer and Mark Aspery. With the funds that I have made through Etsy, I put myself through Blacksmithing school in the summer of 2015.

I truly love making all of these creations and I am thrilled to be able to share them with the world. Every piece of my jewelry is handmade with care by myself... rest assured your jewelry is not mass produced. I appreciate you visiting my shop and am humbled by your patronage.
