Whatimleavingbehind

I prefer to be anonymous an let my work speak for itself. I do not sell. This is what i am leaving behind all the things in life I find beautiful, dreams, memories, ideas, and my gratefulness for being alive I put into my work. I put in as much of my spirit and personality in each piece as I possibly can because you only live once and i want to memorialize it all. I hold nothing back, don't measure proportions, just me, love every piece I have made, self-taught.

Military brat. Had a skull fracture/TBI, during my youth, and overcame a diagnosis of short-term memory loss. Have been diagnosed with Bipolar 1, PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, and major depressive disorder. Due to mental health, i wish to remain anonymous.

fire, as the texture alone which is impressionistic can be interpreted in many ways the

gems are also denote that it is fire. Design to setting gems done by myself. Lost wax cast

exclusively. Self-taught. Lab ruby and sapphires. Heat treated for germanium dioxide a

protective or passivation layer for patina.

Mourning - Allegory of PTSD

pendant

become a source of pain. Not wanting to face them, remember. Design to the setting of gems

done by myself. Lost wax cast using air vents not vacuum assisted. Model made with a

dental tool a candle, almost exclusively. Self-taught. Glass eyes.
