Based in Bend, Oregon, I am an independent gemstone artist dedicated to transforming the raw architecture of the Earth into precision-cut works of light. Each stone begins as a natural creation—formed over millennia beneath immense pressure and time—and is then thoughtfully sculpted to reveal its highest optical and structural potential. I do not impose design onto a gemstone; I collaborate with it, allowing its natural shape, color zoning, and internal character to guide the final form.

My work centers on fantasy cutting—an advanced lapidary discipline that moves beyond traditional faceting to create sculptural, dimensional compositions within crystal. These designs are engineered not only for brilliance, but for depth, symmetry, and contemplative presence. Inspired by the landscapes of Central Oregon and a lifelong reverence for the intelligence of the natural world, I create gemstones that invite pause—stones that ask you to look closer, to consider structure, light, and the quiet sophistication of nature’s geometry.

Each piece is cut individually, never mass-produced, and finished by hand. What you acquire is not simply a gemstone, but a singular object of design—shaped by earth, refined by intention, and created to endure as both art and heirloom.
