As the daughter of a boat builder and a gardener my works have always been inspired by the symbiosis of humans and their environment.  
   Being from MT has influenced my work tremendously.  My father is a drift boat builder and i grew up watching him create beautiful boats that allowed people to explore and interact with the pristine rivers of Montana.  I think my jewelry does a similar  thing for people.  It allows them to take the beauty of  nature and incorporate it into their daily lives. As the materials around me change according to availability or hunting season so do the designs, ensuring no two pieces are alike. I believe my innate connection with the environment  can also be seen in the many illustrations, installations and projects surrounding me constantly.
