Memories & Moments - A Jewelry Collection Inspired by Life Stories

As an artist, I am constantly trying to find meaningful ways to connect with customers by sharing sources of inspiration and stories/symbolism that may resonate. Recently, I lost my dad. He lived a long, full life, but a piece of me is missing. Going through pictures and sharing family stories with family has been so healing and a source of peace. Here are a few of my stories and how they inspired the pieces in this collection.

The Mountains Are Calling

This may be my favorite photo from the bins of photos that I recently went through! The scenery, sense of adventure, and simplicity of the moment of being in the snowy Rocky Mountains (in shorts), is nothing short of delightful! I am a Colorado native, and this photo is going to be framed in our home.

Sweet Mary

The Mountains Are Calling

To know my Aunt Mary is to love her. She sparkles everywhere she goes, in the simplest ways. Her positivity, grace, and occasional dry sense of humor are a beautiful combination. Last Valentine's Day, I helped my dad write Valentine's Day cards, and he addressed her card, 'Sweet, Sweet Mary."

These two. My dad, and uncle were always up for adventures.

Wherever I go, I am drawn to gardens and landscapes. One of my favorite spring and summer hobbies is gardening. Collecting fresh cut flowers and putting them in a canning jar is a favorite centerpiece or gift for a friend. This photo was taken in our backyard in Denver.
