Living close to the land, I’m drawn to the raw beauty of the prairie—the wide-open spaces, the quiet resilience of nature, and the delicate details that often go unnoticed.

In my work, I capture this tension between strength and fragility by casting local botanicals into metal, preserving their fleeting form in something lasting and tangible. Each piece speaks to the land that inspires it—an enduring tribute to the delicate balance between the natural world and the memories it holds.

Through this process, I explore how jewelry can carry stories, emotions, and connections, transforming the ephemeral into something permanent, much like the prairie itself.
