TRANSFORMING RAW MATERIALS
My journey into creating started long before I picked up my first torch. My mom handed me a paintbrush when I was just a little girl, teaching me how to bring color to life. As I got older, my dad introduced me to woodworking and before I knew it, I was crafting tables for our home - learning how raw materials, when shaped with intention, could become something both beautiful and lasting. Those early lessons stuck with me, and now, instead of wood and paint, I work with fire, metal, and stone. Completely self taught through trial and error, a ton of videos & reading, forging pieces meant to be worn, cherished, and passed down for generations!
Originally from South Africa, my love for art and adventure has taken me across the world- through the rolling green hills of Ireland and Wales, the lush jungles of Costa Rica, and beyond. Every place I’ve wandered has left its mark on my work, inspiring me to blend nature’s textures, colors, and cultural influences into each handcrafted piece.
Each design that leaves my bench is made with love and a whole lot of intention. I believe jewelry should be more than just an accessory- it should carry meaning, reflect your journey, and remind you of the wild, adventerous soul you are! My work is deeply inspired by nature, rich textures of different cultures, and the effortless beauty of raw, organic elements. You’ll find a lot of turquoise & opal in my pieces - two stones that hold the magic of the earth, sky, and sea! I’m always exploring new ways to blend colors, textures, and metals, branching into flush and basket settings, all while working with precious, locally sourced materials.
