Do you feel a disconnect? Do you feel a little odd? Do you feel like you’re not like other people? Do you feel like a bit of a misfit? Maybe you feel a little disconnected from the world, like there is something more to this world than what our five senses tell us? I know I sure did for many years. I used to feel like an alien in this world. I often felt like I didn’t belong. I didn’t understand people. I didn’t understand how and why people did what they did to one another. I would get very sick to my stomach when I would encounter any type of conflict no matter how small. In fact, that disconnect and these feelings (amongst other things) actually led to my having a serious depression for many years.

To be honest, I’ve been interested in the metaphysical world since I was a child but didn’t realize it until much later in life. In my early 20’s and into my 30’s, I was doing all I could to conform to society’s expectations resulting in serious depression. Using therapy while immersing myself in mythology, metaphysics and surrounding myself with symbols, art, and jewelry connected to other realms, I slowly healed from the depression. 

How did I get from following my parents’ beliefs, to depressed person, to here??? Well, I saw my first enamel in an art gallery and I knew right then that I wanted to become an enamelist (even though I didn’t know what it was at the time). Suffering from depression led me on a journey of self-discovery. I couldn’t continue to live the live I was living. My spirit was slowly dying.

Talismans, color, symbolism (and of course, therapy) all played a role in pulling me out of that dark space. It feels like my entire journey has culminated around creating jewelry pieces that are deeply rooted in the metaphysical symbolism, tarot, amulets, and talismans. I am passionate about exploring the intricate meanings behind these subjects and expressing them through my art.

Because of my own personal journey, it is my passion to assist like-minded seekers in forging deeper connections with their spirit guides through my symbolic enamel talisman and amulet jewelry. Drawing inspiration from magical symbols, ancient traditions, and mythology, my creations are infused with the intention of fostering meaningful connections. 

Each piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, using the intricate enameling technique to create vibrant and striking colors that add to the overall impact of the piece. Because of my depression and my attraction to psychology and mythology, much of my work has the intention of providing healing or reminders of strength and well being. Through my work, I hope to create a bridge between the tangible and the intangible, connecting the wearer to the world of magic and mystery that lies just beneath the surface.  

Thank you for reading my story.
