It all began when I spent my summers swimming, surfing and exploring my Nova Scotia beaches and learning to make jewellery from my great aunt Jean when she would come to visits from New York. 

That sense of adventure has stayed with me and beach combing continues to be a daily exploration, when the weather is warm of course!

Early in the mornings I head down to the beach before the wind picks up and go on a hunt  to find treasures that are left with the changing of the tides. All the while designing in the sketchbook in my mind of what jewellery I want to make. I often come home with those memories of the ocean in my jacket or jean pockets and when I find them again it takes me back to the beach I visited, the air, the smells and the waves I surfed. The landscape all around me; whether I am surfing my home break or travelling to new places, the imagery and shapes I see are gathered for designs to come. My goal is to create beautiful jewellery with memories of the sea so you can take them with you where ever you may go.
