Green house keeper by day, wire weaver by night. I studied field biology and GIS at Western Illinois University. Studying this rock we live on is what I’ve done my whole adult life. Animals, plants, minerals you name it I’ve memorized it.

For over seven years I made a career making maps, keeping pilots safe from air obstructions. Due to recent moves within the government, I found myself without a path forward. I was able do dive head first into my hobby of stones and wire wrapping. Luckily in 2026 I started at a local green house to make ends meet. Refueling my passion for the greener, oxygen producing things. I’ve also secured a spot at a local vendor market every month to set up shop to sell my art.

Creating is something I’ve also done my whole life. I learned how to wrap stones while on vacation two years ago. Since then, enhancing stones with wire has been my passion. Each stone is unique and guides you while weaving and wrapping. Some stones only ask for a simple elegant wrap, others demand flourish and embellishment. That is what I love about this art form.

You may think you know how the piece will turn out, but by the end you are left with something completely different and stunning. Join me while I let the stones speak for themselves.
