Sea Tales

I'm the daughter of three generations of seafaring folk — tuna fishermen, tugboat captains, maritime environmentalists… a family that grew up along the water and has never left it. I grew up in a home where seashells were currency. We'd trade and barter for the biggest, the prettiest, the most unusual ones — a childhood spent looking down at the tide line, hunting for treasure. I've never lost that. I'm drawn to organic shapes, and I still find most of my inspiration in whatever washes ashore: shells, sea glass, driftwood, old nautical rope, a stray fragment of a lobster trap. Each piece I make begins with something the sea decided to give back. I hope you can visit Marblehead soon, but until then, may the spirit of our coastal New England town come through in every piece you wear. Dive in!
