The Team

Part of my career was with Grand Junction Parks and Recreation in Colorado, where I was responsible for public art administration. I managed all municipal art collections, including over 300 sculptures and 15 annual art exhibitions, and had the opportunity to work with more than 400 local artists. During this time, I created the first mural program, aRT—art along the Riverfront Trail—which featured 15 mural sites. I also launched Mural Jam, painting murals at local skateparks, and the annual Grand Valley Open Studios Tour, inviting the public to explore private home studios across the valley.

“I found that I had a passion for this type of work and enjoyed the immense creativity it brought to my life, both professionally and personally. In my retirement I have reignited this passion through jewelry with the  opportunity of working with Cynthia Martin.”

"I gather inspiration for my designs from nature's palette. By observing color, light, and texture.   I aspire to combine elements that come together to create truly one-of-a-kind hand-crafted jewelry pieces. My hope is that wearing them brings as much joy as making them."

My journey has been shaped by a deep connection to the colors of nature, which inspire much of my creative design work. I draw strength from my family, who have been a constant source of support. My extensive experience in marketing, along with my roles as a Social Media Manager, Web Designer, and Author Assistant, has equipped me with the skills to blend creativity with strategy. This combination of nature’s beauty, personal resilience, and professional expertise has allowed me to craft unique, impactful designs that resonate with authenticity.
