I've always loved rocks. Seriously, even the "boring" ones. I started wire wrapping crystals to make pendants years ago and decided I wanted to up my game in 2022. I began taking metalsmithing and lapidary classes at Boulder Metalsmithing Association (BoMA) and quickly fell in love with playing with metal, fire, and pretty rocks. I was lucky enough to serve on the BoMA board for a couple of years and became the executive director in 2025. Putting my work out into the world has been such a beautiful experience, and I hope to continue doing that and share the joy of metalsmithing with others.
