Designing new pieces for my upcoming summer solstice collection. I love time spent in my sketchbook!
Banded amethyst is a matrix, such a cool stone. Keep a look out for the finished piece.

With over two decades of experience building and sustaining a creative business largely on my own terms, I have developed real, tested strategies that have helped me grow my practice, navigate the business side of making, and raise a family along the way. This curriculum wasn’t pulled from a textbook — it was built through years of trial, error, and hard-won clarity.
I am passionate about pulling back the curtain on what it actually takes to run a sustainable creative business, and equally excited to be in honest conversation with other artists who are figuring it out too.
✨If you are interested in taking the course but could use a little help with the cost, message me for options. ❤️Erica
I had the awesome opportunity to assist my dear friend and talented colleague, @metalbug00 , while she taught a Small Kinetic Sculpture class @johnccampbellfolkschool .
We had so much fun! I didn’t know how much good it would do me to be playful. Charity thank you for the chance to do something a little different and to share the time with you.
Silly side note… When I call Brian ( my hubby and partner) I always say “ Oh Hey”, so it seemed like a good idea that the crank that waves my hand needed those words ❤️
Work in progress. These are the pieces I’ll be working on today. I always work on multiple pieces at once , it’s a trick I learned in college to keep my momentum going when I feel blocked about how to move forward on a particular piece. It will be weeks before these beauties are completed but it felt nice to sit down at the bench this morning and see their progress.
Sterling silver and Lapis Lazuli

Y’all check out the flash on these beautiful stones! Every time I picked them up to work on the earrings I played with them in the light.

Sharing aspects of my inspiration, in this case it was richness of color and the feeling of serenity. Places and experiences often inform my work.
