Chromafusion Jewelry not only means, "where color meets precious metals", but it also means the fusion of the coast to the forest. The untraveled path, the depths of the oceans to the deepest of the woods.

As a designer, the images and ideas that flow through my mind I need to create with my hands. Each piece I create is a moment in time, a moment in space, a moment in life. I can remember each smell and each sound as my hands become one with the tools I use. I adore the smell of copper on my hands and the way solid sterling and fine silver make them so soft. I need to have volume and texture within my work. Without it, my hands won't move. It is hard for my self to work flat. In a sense, my 'wearable art' is a tiny sculpture. My inspirations come from the colors, growth and creatures of the world. Sun, Moon and Earth.

As I create, I remember the times I spent in the fields of my Grandparents farm growing up. I would run through the tall grasses over grown with Wildflowers. My arms open wide, feeling each petal gently touch my skin. There were times I would be out searching for life at dusk. Those were the times I would come face to face with the Doe and Bucks that would come to the Apple trees for nourishment. The Monarch that would float and flutter among the flowers and gracefully collect the nectar. The Hare that would scurry across the Earth hoping I would not spot them. These are the moments that are imprinted on my soul. They are the moments that make my creations come to life.

Now that I am much older, my life is lived the way it was as a child on my grandparents farm. Hair still flowing freely through the wind. Hands still digging deep within the dirt of my garden. Eyes still searching and waiting for the Deer, Fox and Hare that grace the earth in the woods of my back yard.

I have my BFA in Metal/Jewelry Design from East Carolina University School of Art and Design where I studied under Timothy Lazure, Mi-Sook Hur, Robert Ebendorf and Linda Darty.

In 2008, I was able to travel and study abroad through out Tuscany Italy. It is something I will always cherish and never forget.

I am a published Artist with various magazines and online blogs. As well as Lark Books '500 Enameled Objects'
