I'm a twenty-three year old Bucks County artist and art student. I have over seven years experience fabricating jewelry and I've been printmaking for about five years. I've had pieces in school related art shows ever since I was little, and won several awards over the years.

Creating is my escape from reality. When I’m creating I become focused on my artwork, making my anxiety and frustrations vanish. My work consists of things that intrigue, fascinate, and in general inspire and make me happy; like images that may inspire a children’s story, hobbies (writing, sewing, and gardening), nature, and traveling. I strive for excellent craftsmanship in all of my work, even my printing plates are worked on meticulously. My favorite medium is metal, which is why I primarily make jewelry and have found a love for printmaking. I like being challenged by my medium of choice. Unlike paint or a drawing medium, metal needs to be convinced to take on the form I want. I also like experimenting with new ways of persuading metal into either wearable jewelry, or a printable plate.

When I'm not making jewelry or prints I like to take pictures with my rather new and crazy beautiful Canon 40D.

I also have two blogs. The one I've really been working on is about food.

The other one I'm starting to build is about artful living.
