MY STORY

Largely self-taught, I work in a myriad of fibres, semi-precious stones, crystals, silver, and wood. Exploring the boundaries of techniques and adapting methods from other media to create truly unique pieces, my work is one of a kind. 

PURCHASE MY WORK

 

My work is currently available at various shows, as well as at the gift shop in the Lawrence House, Christina St, Sarnia, ON.

Shop Lawrence House.  If you are local, we can arrange a pick up or delivery if you are interested in purchasing from me directly.
