Meet the Artist

I grew up in New Mexico, surrounded by yucca blooms, cottonwood trees, expansive blue skies...and turquoise, lots of turquoise.  My mom and dad ran a jewelry store in SE New Mexico called The Turquoise Shop.  I grew up surrounded by turquoise and silver.  My fondest memories are me, in cutoff Levi shorts, running a few shady blocks from our house to my dad's lapidary studio that was housed in an old WWII barracks building that sat not far from the Pecos River.   For as long as I can remember turquoise + silver have been a part of my life, these materials are precious to me, they remind me of my mom and dad and they are a symbol of the land that I love most...New Mexico.
