About

In a world of possibilities I believe you should go all in on yourself. That’s why I started Earth & Aether. In 2015, I started making jewelry, but the journey began long before that. It started carving sticks into bows and arrows with my grandma in the woods as a kid, watching her bead earrings in my childhood, going to the Pow-wows and being amazed at all the handmade creations I saw all around me.

I believe that within each and every one of us is an artist. Is a child whom used to dream, with ideas brimming to the surface, ready to take on the world, until the harsh reality of the world came along and crushed that.

My purpose as an artist is to remind you that you’re worthy of your dreams, you’re worthy of your best shot, you can make your cake and eat it too. I hope that when you see my art on your walls, you wear my jewelry, you think about me — You take all of that love you feel for me and you pour it back into yourself. I am simply a conduit for god to speak. It has taken me a lifetime to become confident enough to allow myself to share my message with the world and I will no longer play my life small for the fear of failure, being judged, or not being good enough.

I hope that you choose to do the same.

Dare to Dream. Believe in yourselves.

For this is your greatest act of rebellion.

I love you.
