As a child and now, I enjoy exploring every crack and crevasse, from the mountains to the sea. I love nature and always want to be outside in it. Some of my favorite outside activities are hiking, mountain-biking , surfing and camping. On the weekends I enjoy barbecuing and celebrating life with friends and family, who are very important to me. I feel very inspired by the islands and all it’s natural wonders. I draw most of my inspiration from Hawaii plant life and I am also an animal lover. I started in the jewelery trade in my early teens. I have worked with many local jewelers and even some international jewelers. I eventually fell in love and married my husband . He was very supportive and encouraged me to branch off and start my own business. I slowly developed accounts and did customs and repairs here and there untill I made my niche. I soon began sculpting my own pieces and finding my own style. I am moved to continue creating reflections of our plant life and creatures from my own imagination . I still have a small business and my goal is to one day become independent just making a living doing what I love, my art . I hope you all enjoy it.
