BE HAPPY.
Art for the soul & jewelry Made with intention
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you’re interest in my work. Truly.
You being here is supporting my work. Even if it’s just a quick browse to get a glimpse of what I do, I’m so grateful that my work is being looked at, and hopefully admired.
Thank you.
I am a self-taught artist and jewelry designer of nearly fifteen years, based in Hood River, OR.
My work is made with intention, and many of my designs are made with geometric components, creating symbolic jewelry pieces made to resonate not only with me, but also the wearer. I enjoy creating simple statement earrings, with a “less is more” angle, that also carry a confidence-boosting vibe. I know that you will look beautiful wearing my work, but more than anything, I want you to FEEL beautiful wearing it. Accessorizing is more than just adding flair to an outfit, it’s also about feeling good in what you are wearing, while creating an over all feeling of confidence.
Those of you who have followed and supported me throughout my career as an artist know that I do not have a trademark design style, and you have likely watched my work transform drastically over the last several years. I am currently focused on creating retro earring designs, using authentic, 1980s vintage metal. If you are not yet familiar with my work, I hope that you browse and check out my latest designs. You might find something for yourself, or perhaps a special someone in your life.
I am currently on a journey learning metal smithing technique. I look forward to building my skill set and craftsmanship. I enjoy exploring new ways to create, and I am excited to see what lies ahead.
I am also a self-taught acrylic painter, and like my jewelry, my styles and techniques change with me. My work is often full of wonder & symbolism, with thought provoking ideas. I hope it captivates you and makes you feel something. Be sure to follow my work on Instagram to see what I’m up to.
Do what you love, and be happy.
xoxo,
❤ Melissa
