The memory of window boxes tended by my mother as a child are given a modern essence with these earrings. The hanging element strips the idea of a window box to its simplest form and the curvature of the earwire is like the gentle curve in a flowers stem.

I have been making jewelry since I was a fourth grader selling bracelets to my classmates during recess. When the time came to go to college it was very clear to me that I wanted to continue making jewelry. I choose to study at Bowling Green State University and am currently a senior studying in the Metals and Jewelry department. In my work, I like to use simple shapes and colors to create an organic yet modern aesthetic. I like this combination of seemingly opposing ideas as I feel this opposition also describes myself. I am most inspired by elements in nature and modern architecture.
