Summary/Artist Statement
As a jewelry designer, I am heavily inspired by nature, creating uniquely organic pieces of wearable art. Using materials such as clay, resin, bugs, dried flowers, and stones, I express my creative visions through jewelry. Ensuring the ethical sourcing of my materials is important to me, as I intend to honor the beauty of nature.
About This Item: My very first time using bugs and resin in jewelry! This has become one of my favorite types of jewelry to create, with several Bug Collections following this one.
