About

Growing up in Southern Vermont, with the exception of a year spent in California, I have always been surrounded by the beauty of nature. My childhood was filled with the soothing sounds of a babbling brook and the enchantment of walking trails through the woods. It was during these explorations that I discovered my passion for collecting stones and water-worn pottery or glass. Still, when my family goes on vacations to the shore, I find myself strolling along the beaches, searching for hidden treasures.

Working with my hands has always brought me joy and fulfillment. Whether it is painting, drawing portraits, creating digital art, or even cooking and gardening, I have always found solace in the act of creation. In 2021, I began silversmithing on a whim and never looked back. I now enjoy mixing metals to create the most unique pieces.

The name Wading Bird Jewelry holds a special significance for me. It is a tribute to the countless hours I have spent vacationing by the water's edge. Wading birds, to me, symbolize leisure and tranquility. They embody peace and transformation, gracefully navigating through the elements of air, land, and water. In a way, they represent the harmonious unity of all the elements. It is this sense of transformation and endless possibilities that I love.

I create out of my home in southern Vermont, surrounded by nature, gardens, chickens, a dog and a cat. At times, my husband and toddler lend a helping hand!
