Learn from me at Craftsy

I created a class for Craftsy! It's 90 minutes long and it covers several ways to capture a stone in copper or silver-filled wire. Sign up below using my special, website-only 25% off link, and I'll show you free-form frames using simple cold connections, how to use a torch to solder strong, elegant frames, and incorporate beads, sea glass, and irregularly shaped cabochons.

You'll also see how to create dynamic loops and coils for both structural support and visual appeal, AND you'll learn how to add an antique finish and clasps for DIY chains. It's pretty great, and I think you'll love it.

Colour. Change. Community.

As a child, beachcombing with family in Cape Breton, I became captivated by the natural colours and shapes surrounding me. Making jewelry became a means to transform Eastern Canada’s brilliant scenery and calm, creative lifestyle into works of art. By capturing local colour with the sinuous curves of my native coastlines, I can tell stories from my home island through tiny, wearable canvases.

The only constant to my work, besides colour, is change. I thrive on new discoveries, so every new technique I try will merge and grow into the next, delivering surprise and joy as every piece takes shape. I delight in overcoming challenges and solving problems, for I know each piece I make is made richer by the journey it takes from raw materials to final shape.

Communities of artists, both local and global, inform my work and drive my innovative spirit. It’s self-evident that I should share my work with others; breaking down my process helps not only me, but also others who can build on my techniques, combining colour and shape in newer, richer ways to take the evolution of my work forever forward. Each piece of jewelry becomes a phrase in an unfolding conversation around the world.
