Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
– Rumi
How lucky I am, at this stage of my life, to have the time, resources, and health required to pursue metalsmithing, stitching, and other arts. It gives me great joy when an individual selects one of my pieces or works to wear or live with.
