{The Art Shop}
This is my art. My inner world. The feelings, ideas, beliefs, and images ruminating over a lifetime. These are the images I've spent my life working on...since I got that sketchbook and pencils from my grandmother when I was 11 ...the coming into myself, the revelations, the practice with pencil, pen, and brush in hand, day by day, year after year.
My art is my soul. My life's work. My legacy.
I knew you'd understand.

{The Arcane Ether Collection}
...enchanted alchemy....
High up on the cliff ledges overlooking the Sea of Grandiorn lies a hidden and rather curious studio tucked away amongst the primeval oaks and firs, browning ferns, and swaying grasses. Books and tomes piled high teeter precariously as candlelight dimly illuminates walls bedecked with rare treasures and curiosities, and ancient dishes filled with stones and gems glint in the flickering light. As stormy skies roll in with the tides, spirits adrift, a lone alchemist painstakingly mixes gems and precious metals into unduplicatable wearable arts, wrought from inspirations from the lands, the mist, the ether, and the past.
These treasures are created out of the love of minute detail, intricacy, precious gems, and, of course, a sprinkling of magik and lore.
What good is creation the easy, fast way? What reward awaits? More time?...and what will you do with that 'more time'? Creativity and the making of things is a soul calling, my Dears...don't ignore it if it knocks on the door of your heart!

{The Mystic Collection}
Up on a hill...in silence and solitude...leaves fall...whispers to the ground...
Cloudy and quiet days, slowed by mists and silent intentions inspire my Mystic Collection. Everyday jewels wrought by hand from earthy gemstones and precious metals, to create subtly beautiful wearable adornments made for the earthly soul and bewitched wanderer.
Never take the trodden path, Darlings, take the route heavily hidden by bending ferns and detritus, where wet mossy entanglements soak your feet...and your senses doubt you until you have no choice but to trust your own knowing, guided only by moonlight....
...and there, your treasure will be found...

{The Forest Primeval Collection}
Where..., deep amidst the moss and detritus, under towering ancient sentinels of sycamore and oak, where tiny Mayflowers soak the dappled sun and the smallest of creatures thrive...where the chatter of the world falls silent...and in its stead the least to us become the main characters in the lands of their birthright...
My Forest Primeval Collection is a nod to the natural, silent world in which I love to immerse myself! Leaves, nuts, woodland flora...all the little treasures the earth gifts to us freely.
It is, after all, reality in its purest form...
The trees will never betray you...

{Aspen&Oak Collection}
In a quiet glen...a willow shivers above a mystic pond...clouded in a murky early dawn brume...A still connectedness to the earth below inspires my Aspen&Oak Collection. Jewels wrought with a stoic nod to the earth we trod and on which we exist, in the hopes that one may lend an ear to the whisper of answers beholden, whether in a quiet wooden vale, or along a riverside wild...
Take it to the sacred groves and mystic places. There you'll find all you ever needed to know...

{The Thinning Veil Collection}
Whilst all living kind abide by the laws that govern our universe, there are those who challenge the reality set upon us by traditional rule, and venture to seek and explore beyond the physical realm to which we are, at this time, bound. These blazers of mystical, unseen paths inspire my Thinning Veil Collection of crystals, metals, talismans, and runes.
Safe travel, Darlings...whatever realm you choose to traverse...

{Ebb and Flow Collection}
Drifting in waves...the sea...her ebb and flow a servant of the moon. All her mysteries and treasures in darkness lie, hidden from those who thrive on the light...her nemesis. Tales of peril on wooden clad ships of old, and a soul in mournful black pacing unseen on a starlit rooftop... all eerie inspirations for my Ebb and Flow Collection. Born of the sea and riddled with long forgotten tales, these jewels behold stories beyond the maritime materials of which they are made.

{Cakeman Carnival Collection}
If you've found yourself making the unfortunate mistake of wandering down tight alleyways between hastily erected striped tents, past heckling snake oil salesmen and bawdily dressed women peddling whatever wears you wish to buy under torchlight along the muddy path...the roar of beast and the stench of smoke and nuts and excitement and fear! As you twirl round and round to the off tune music and debauchery you may just come across the Cakeman, adorned in pink and lacey frill...out of a Rococo painting some would say, with the glimmering buckles and the waistcoat and the shimmer and the stiff lace...hawking his spongey tasty fare...vanillas and sugars, berry and tart, molasses and sweet syrup thick, tempting temporary pleasures to forget the long trials of the world...
Moderation, Darlings! All has its place.
{Enjoy the nonsense!}

{The Moonlit Glade Collection}
In the forest deep when twilight arrives...when the air settles in warm and cool puddles stills and the dim light betrays your senses and the tricks of the fae spin you round and round and the fireflies shimmer above mosses green and frogs sing their praises in the tree tops high above... This is the inspiration for my Moonlit Glade Collection... shimmery, pretty, whimsical, and fairy core!
If a hidden damp glade calls your name softly in the summer twilight, always answer, my Dear!
