From the need to support myself while traveling, I fell into the rock business. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Before that, I had never much thought about rocks, but once seeing what the mineral kingdom had to offer, I was hooked.
With the help from a lapidary friend, I cut my first stone. I love that I can capture the stone's natural beauty in a wearable piece of artwork. As I work with crystals, I continue to learn how to listen to them. They help guide me to showcase their inner nature. I feel fortunate to be living a life where I get to thrive through a distinct artistic relationship with a life-force that is millions of years older than myself.
Another guiding force to my creativity is music, which has always been a great inspiration in my life. While I love all music, most of my Crystal Creations have been created while listening to Melodic Danceable Beats (a.k.a. Tronic). I love the constant evolution of music and I let it influence me to do my best at whatever the task.
I am determined to continue seeking excellence while finding great magic in this life.

I have been passionate about crystals and their healing properties for many years now. In 2012, I found the perfect outlet for my creative energy, while being able to play a part in spreading crystal medicine. Wire wrapping has been my favorite past-time ever since.
My goal is to accent the stone and capture it in a beautiful setting while letting the stone speak for itself.
All wire wrapped pieces contain 93.5% Argentium Sterling Silver, (which is Sterling Silver with a protective coating to help with tarnishing).
