A Little About Myself

Creating has always been a large part of my life. But, it was not until recently that I discovered my absolute love of fabrication.

It makes perfect sense to me now. I grew up with a father that worked with precision and skill to craft airplanes and I played with every bolt, scrap and cotter-pin I could find. Maybe the love of working with metal is in my blood. Moving and forming metal has given me the creative freedom I always yearned for, but could not quite find in other mediums. Combining that love with an eye for luxury, luscious gemstones and a lifetime fondness of adornments led me to create 83M.

I create treasured jewelry with a spirit, playfulness and sense of joy. Inspired by the whimsical everyday nature of life and rooted in my upbringing as an imaginative child, happy to spend hours alone outside in a world of my own making.

This is a celebration. Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting this dream and my art.
