Metal art and jewelry fabrication is also a medium I've taught numerous community classes and workshops in. Teaching this form is an additional way to connect with the learnings and teachings of my grandmother (and all my other teachers) while carrying the tradition forward.

Koru and Whale Tail
Chased/Repoussé Sterling Silver - 2017
Growing up, I saw images of the koru hinted in my grandmother's art and in her books on her home country of New Zealand and Maori art. When I finally traveled there, I saw how integral this spiral shape, that recalls the unfurling of a fern frond symbolizing new life and growth, is part of the New Zealand honoring the Maori traditions as part of their culture.

Sterling Silver and Agate - 2021
Some damaged redwood trees (due to fires or logging) will sprout creating what is called a fairy ring. In this pendant, sterling silver is forged, curved, in a fairy ring circle to frame a floating carnelian stone reminiscent of a fire within.
