Celebrate Your Path
Throughout this spiritual journey of human experiences, we venture paths of joy and paths of sorrow, with the great task of staying connected to our inner light. As you travel this amazing journey of life, may you be met with peace of spirit, love in abundance, and a light to guide your way!
My Creative Journey
As a self-taught precious metals artisan and spirit mentor, I believe my purpose to be in creatively guiding others toward a path of inner peace. Through eco-friendly rustic fine silver inspirational jewelry designs, and creative awareness community workshops, I offer opportunities for others to reconnect with their inner light. My eclectic journey began as a small child living in a world of diverse influences. As a black child (African American/Native American), adopted at the age of three to a Caucasian couple in the 70's, I was exposed very early on to the varying views on culture by our society. Through love and guidance, my parents not only brought awareness of our sameness to the fore front, but opened the doors to celebrating our differences. These experiences have profoundly shaped who I am today.

Creative Awareness through Jewelry
In my quest to guide others toward a path of inner peace, I design inspirational fine silver jewelry. Visit my shop for jewelry designs and to find out more about the process!
In partnership with non-profit communities, I present "Creative Awareness through Jewelry Making". These mini retreats provide opportunity for respite... for individuals to reconnect with their spirit, through their design of a symbolic token, a tangible reflection of Peace, Love, Acceptance, Healing, Hope, Joy, Remembrance, Celebration,Commitment, Recovery, Forgiveness, Renewal, Strength, Growth, or Faith. Reminders to take good care of their spirits as they journey through life.
