About the Artist

I graduated from Edinboro University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2019. During my time there, I discovered my love for metalsmithing and being in a studio, using my hands, and working with such wonderful and strong material. I found myself especially drawn to hammer-forming techniques and fascinated by the intimate relationship I was able to have with the materials.

I stayed in Edinboro for a Post-Baccalaureate opportunity to continue my work and learn as a graduate student for a year. Afterward, I decided to explore the jeweler field and started a position at a custom jewelry shop. I currently live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where i continue to learn and work in my studio, as well as explore opportunities.
