I discovered the magic of molten glass when I first arrived in Victoria in 2001 and instantly fell in love with melting and the West Coast. I quickly turned my fascination with flamework into creating jewelry and selling at local farmers markets. To this day, I create designs imbued with the wonder of the West Coast. When you purchase my jewelry, you get to take a little part of Vancouver Island, BC, home with you to enjoy on all of your adventures. Twenty-five years later, I still call the Island home and continue to sell my glass creations at local markets, finding inspiration in this magical place every day.

I initially worked with glass for the love of the medium and as a creative outlet, but everything changed after I created a piece of cremation ash jewelry for my auntie following the loss of her mother, my grandmother Gege, the anchor of our family. I went on to make keepsakes for the rest of my family, and seeing the comfort it brought them inspired me to create my Memorial Keepsake Collection. In those quiet moments of making something meaningful, I realized the true purpose of my work. What began as an act of love has grown into my life’s purpose—helping others through my glass creations.

Losing my father at the age of four deeply shaped my understanding of grief and the importance of holding onto memories and finding healthy ways to heal very early in my life. Witnessing how my family, especially my Nanny and Grampy Tower, processed loss planted a deep desire in me to help others from a young age. I've seen how grief impacts people—and how art, connection, a supportive family and community filled with love can help heal. What a gift glassblowing has brought into my life to offer these treasures of remembrance for people to hold their loved ones close to their heart.
