Thank you! You showed your great interest in my original wearable art creations!  

Thank you! You showed your savvy in selecting pieces that you are welcome to purchase directly from me (without a % going to the “middleman”!).

Thank you! You showed your appreciation and monetary support which is a sign of encouragement to all artists and contributes to the vibrancy of our local arts community.

If I can impress and inspire, I’m a happy girl!

Speaking of community – many of my neighbors came by to appreciate High Desert Creations. This is Christy who is wearing an original Kathi Turner sterling silver “Lariat Infinity” pendant with garnet stone.

Morrie Elmer, High Desert Creations HITH guest artist for a number of years, commissioned a pair of freshwater pearl earrings for his wife, Donna. Morrie is a woodturner who is often gifted with exotic downed trees which he lets dry naturally in the great outdoors then cuts and shapes into beautifully crafted vessels. His ability to inlay turquoise and other stones into the organically created fissures is masterful.

At High Desert Creations, I create handmade wearable art pendants, bracelets and earrings that represent my connection to earth, sky and spirit in original Western, Southwestern and Contemporary designs – rustic & simplistic/refined & modernistic.

I also work with patrons to create distinctive styles of custom jewelry on commission.

Your design vision is key to your satisfaction and I welcome collaboration!

Via message, text, email, chat – or with a drawing or description or selection of stone, metals, symbols – I will work with you to create an original work of wearable art just for you. If you already have a piece that you would like me to rework – I’m happy to help with that.
