Artist | Professional | Artisan Crafts
United States
My mother is an artist and a jewelry maker, so it was natural that I would grow up and follow the same path. I work mainly with polymer clay making fantasy sculptures and geek and video game jewelry for my Etsy shop Outpost 8. I also make post-apocalyptic jewelry from salvaged hardware, teeth, feathers, bullet shells, and other found objects for my other shop: Blastland. When I have time, I love to paint - particularly ACEOs. I do acrylic and oil paintings. I also crochet from time to time.
