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.
