Get to Know

I am a wild Irish chick that likes to do things a bit differently than most others. I am a wild child at times but that is part of my charm. So let me tell you a bit about who I really am... Well, I am married and we have a houseful of rescue kitties. They are my pride and joy and they were all, except for a few, rescued from either abusive situations or they were abandoned. I am an avid animal supporter and have worked as a vet tech prior to getting married. I have a love of many crafts. I started creating when I was very young and remember my family telling me that if it comes from the heart, it is more valuable that anything in the world. I put my heart and my love into everything I create. My style is a bit varied and maybe a tad dark at times but I like to create for everyone. I want to make sure that I have something for everyone. I love gothic designs and work with that theme more often. I also love to work with gemstones. Most of what I will use are natural gemstones, some may be dyed but they are not synthetic. I am a big believer in the metaphysical properties of these stone and that is mainly what I try to bring to my work. I make pieces that have special meanings. I will create pieces for a number of different faiths. I have been brought up to respect each and every belief even if it is not my own. I am openly Pagan and I do have a lot of Pagan and Wiccan inspired items but I also have other religious themed pieces. I have studied and do know the significance to what I do. I have a love of religion and see beauty in all of them. I love spending time with my family and just enjoying life. I am a nature lover and I love the beach. Because I live so close to the Ocean, it plays an integral part of my life. I am also in a historic area that plays very heavy into my photography. All in all, I hope that everyone can see a bit of me in my work. But more than that, I hope this gives a small glimpse of the face behind the studio and the avatar.
