My whole life has been about my Passion for animals, insects, sealife in Laguna that are crucial for everyones survival. I remember as a very young child my favorite thing to draw was a whale.A

journey through years of Painting, Glass lampwork, beadweaving. All have been successful adventures in expression but the real voice I can share with you is through my “Circle of Life collection” artistic jewelry.

My process: I Imagine my images solely in my mind from what i know about their nature, they come to life when i custom carve my images in soft wax, casting them in sterling silver. All of these very spiritual creatures lives have been explored by me including the monarch butterflies that I raise. Many people who see my artwork share their own spiritual encounter which brings me great joy.
