My favorite type of art to create are that of limitless expression; I love getting to make my “Infinitum” design which encases a large rare stone accented with beautiful faceted gems. This design allows me to give the center stone some extra pop and shows off the flowy, sleek, and intricate designs I like to create. The stones in my work are rare and unique, usually cut and polished by yours truly; I take pride in the balance between nature and design
Where do you find inspiration?I have had a fun life filled with travel, victory, love, hardship, lots of blood sweat and tears; at 22 years old my six year long cycling career came to an end with a mountain bike accident. The bike snapped in half while I was riding in the Phoenix mountains, I broke 2 ribs, 4 vertebrae, and collapsed a lung. I had a major out of body experience and spent some time on the other side. I saw incredible, divine things and felt such deep feelings that to this day show me new pieces of my heART.
