About The Artist: When I started Silver Box Designs in 2003, I knew I wanted to create jewelry that had meaning for those wearing it. Sometimes as obvious as a word etched in metal and at other times more subtle as in the inter-connectivity of the jump rings in chainmaille.

We all have stories that help define who we are. I bring my own defining experiences including time spent in East Africa, South America, Greece and Israel; earning a post-graduate degree from Emory University; practicing as a therapist at an adolescent boarding school; studying jewelry design and technique with incredibly talented artists; and having the amazing experience of motherhood. I recognize that the people who wear my jewelry have their own unique experiences and that a piece of jewelry can help tell that story, express who they are or help express their feelings towards someone else. I am always grateful to be a part of that connection.

My studio is located in Tannery Row Artist Colony in downtown historic Buford, GA. Surrounded by a group of extremely talented and diverse artists, it is the perfect place to become inspired and seriously work on my craft.

My jewelry is in several retail locations and I participate in many local art festivals each year. In addition, I teach the art of chainmaille at several local art studios. I am committed to mastering my craft and constantly evolving as an artisan by challenging myself technically, conceptually and visually.
