I have always been drawn to crystals, stones and bones. It's the artwork of Mother Earth herself, hidden away amongst nature. I was the little child who was happiest in a forest, and always returned home with pockets full of rocks, shells, feathers, pine cones, sticks and whatever else caught my eye. I never stopped playing in the forest, although my scavenging has become a tad more selective. Soon enough, I had such a vast collection of natural treasures, I had to do something with it.

So I found some copper wire, and made my mother a pendant. It was a simple thing- a small peice of quartz crystal wrapped quite messily, and I later found it fell apart, but, that one wrap lead to an obsession. Soon I was crafting jewelry and tree suncatchers for all my friends and family to enjoy. I even got the opportunity to briefly work at a rock and gem store, where I was able to hone my skills and learn so much more about the more magical properties of these Crystals. There, I learned the joy of crafting that perfect peice that calls so strongly to an individual. How fulfilling to is to know I've created something to help someone through a difficult time, or just through their day to day life.

I started Will 'o' Wisp Wire Work officially when I began a nomadic lifestyle, searching for something more in life. With only my dog as company, I have been exploring the natural wonders of North America. There is wondrous inspiration to be found around every corner- whether it be in an expansive glacier, a tiny flower or mushroom, a quaint little fishing village, or the diversity of the people I meet. There is magic in this Earth, and I hope to spread that magic as much as I possibly can wherever I go.
