Unique Sculptural Jewelry

Inspired by nature, personal stories, and history. 
​I create unique jewelry from sentimental tokens, found objects, and recycled materials.  They are small sculptures carefully crafted that speak of the past and resonate personal stories.
​ Each one is unique and offers something special for the wearer and viewer to connect with.  Many of my clients enjoy wearing my designs, and displaying them as art work in their homes and offices.

Commissioning Art Work Is Easy


From our very first conversation I'll lead you through everything.
 Together we'll take a walk down memory lane to uncover your visual story.  I personally listen to desires, stories, while we look at any items you have collected.   ​Then, I'll create basic sketches or design ideas based upon our conversation, give you a timeframe, and estimated price.  Once we're in agreed, work begins, and before you know it, your visual story will be ready for you to wear, share, or display.

Inspired By Life Stories, Nature, and History

Our work is all about personal stories and the use of the objects and materials we choose.   Worn or displayed, it invites special memories and feelings.  It’s not easily forgotten because it resonates with you personally. ​

COMMISSIONING ARTWORK IS EASIER THAN YOU IMAGINE
From our very first conversation over the phone, zoom, or even an in-studio consultation, I'll lead you through everything.  We'll discover what your visual story as we review any items you have collected, listen to your stories, and desires.  Then, I'll create basic sketches or design ideas based upon our conversation, give you a timeframe, and estimated price.  Once we're in agreed, work begins, and before you know it, your visual story will be ready for you to wear, share, or display.

 Large Sculptures 

Much of my work is designed to be worn daily, but I do enjoy challenging what is considered "normal" with the use of bolder and exaggerated wearable art forms. Pieces that can be worn, but  are intended for exhibit, fashion photography, and commercial settings.  
​Ed's medium is wood. He uses a chainsaw to carve large logs into sculpture.  You can learn more about chainsaw carvings here.

A Different Way to Look at Jewelry

Jewelry is art that deserves to be displayed on the body, on the wall, on a table top stand, or as a large stand alone piece.
Since the 70's I have developing my artistic skills and expression in various medias and techniques.  I draw upon my life experiences and skills to build connections through my art work.
I give a voice, beauty, and purpose to things overlooked, discarded, or collected and now sitting in a drawer.

It all starts with a walk... a metaphorical walk down memory lane, a walk in the woods, or a walk in your shoes.
I use shape, color, texture, and form made of  organic, metals, fibers, and small token collectibles that I delicately weave together layer by layer until the wholes story is revealed.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Do you make other art pieces or just jewelry?
    • Good question.  Yes, we do make table top, wall displays, and outdoor art sculptures along with wearable art.
  • I would love to commision a piece, but I don't have any items to include.  Can you still make a piece that will tell my story?
    • Glad you asked.  Yes, we will have a conversation as take a walk down memory lane to uncover your visual story.  I personally listen to desires, stories, while we look at any items you have collected.   ​Then, I'll create basic sketches or design ideas based upon our conversation, give you a timeframe, and estimated price.  Once we're in agreed, work begins, and before you know it, your visual story will be ready for you to wear, share, or display
  • What kind of things can be included in a custom piece of jewelry?
    • Pretty much anything you like, maybe something with a memory associated with it, a collection, or something past down.  I prefer things that are about 6" or smaller because they are more comfortable to wear.  I have some pretty unusual pieces using sentimental items such as bookmarks, shells, keys, china, bullet casings, glass, fur, automotive parts, fishing gear, sewing notions, game pieces, paint brushes, feathers, drift wood, wedding dresses, stones, old jewelry, and even hair. 
  • Your jewelry is a miniature piece of art, I'd like to display it.  Is that possible?
    • Thank you, I design my art jewelry to be displayed either on the body, as wall or table display.  I am happy to work with you to create just the right display for your specific area. 
  • I have items larger than jewelry could you make a sculpture or artwork from them?
    • Yes, I can use just about anything and because they are items with special memories associated with them will make the piece even more special.
  • Do you work with people out of your area?
    • Yes, you would simply contact me.  Then we'd have a conversation either by phone  call, zoom, facetime, or skype. During our conversation we will determine your desires and the best methods to move forward,
