The artist’s work explores the intersection of nature, function, and refined design. Using sea glass and stones organically found along the shores of Block Island—where they live and work year-round—each piece carries both a physical and emotional connection to place. Shaped by water and time, these materials form the foundation for objects that are simultaneously sculptural, personal, and utilitarian.

Living within a small, resilient island community deeply informs the artist’s practice. The rhythms of the ocean, the intimacy of place, and a culture of making influence both process and aesthetic. Forms remain intentionally minimal, allowing the natural character, texture, and history of each material to remain the focal point.
Influenced by their education through the Rhode Island School of Design, the artist developed a proprietary underwater drilling process that preserves the integrity of stone and sea glass while transforming them into durable, functional objects. Each material is hand-selected, hand-drilled, and assembled in the studio, ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same.

The work includes high-end architectural hardware—door knobs, pulls, finials, hooks, bookends, and candle holders—as well as smaller functional objects. Whether creating hardware or personal pieces, the artist seeks to elevate everyday interactions—opening a door, carrying keys, securing a bag—into moments of tactile connection and quiet luxury. The work prioritizes longevity, individuality, and thoughtful craftsmanship over trend-driven design and is increasingly featured in galleries, showrooms, and private homes nationwide.
