Salt and Shadow embodies the quiet sophistication of the coast — where color, texture, and form intertwine like tide and light. A cluster of oysters emerges from deep plum and burgundy hues, each layer revealing the refined beauty found in the interplay between land and sea. The palette is both rich and restrained, evoking an heirloom quality that feels timeless and modern all at once.

My originals are known for their quiet strength - the way they hold light, memory, and the easy rhythm of coastal life. Each piece is created with intention, shaped by layers of place and feeling. These works are made for those who live fully and seek meaning in what surrounds them - for homes that value craftsmanship, connection, and a sense of calm rooted in the natural world.
