“To expand beyond one's world and celebrate the expression of life and passion.”
“Art should touch you deeply on a personal level”
The Erasure Collection
Yearning for simpler time, when thoughts were scribbled outside the lines.
“To deconstruct the whole, and put the pieces together again, is to take a leap of faith.”
“There is beauty in the struggle—in what lies underneath, what’s covered up, and what’s exposed.”
Jewelry
Vibrant, One of a Kind Jewelry, created from original art by Shirley Bales
One of a Kind
Handcrafted in my Colorado studio, this unique jewelry is created with an innovative process, that transfers Shirley Bales original artwork, by hand to each piece.
Eco Varnish
This bio-polymer clay contains a proprietary eco varnish that includes organic, biodegradable materials and is eco-friendly. This varnish provides the tactile sensation of raw stone or polished glass, promoting longevity through craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
Elevate your everyday
Vibrant, modern statement earrings, with sophisticated and elegant wirework. This jewelry is ultra-lightweight, hypoallergenic, and carries the unique charm of a handmade piece.
The Jewelry Collection
Beauty, translated to shape and form, to be part of another's expression.
Sustainable Studio
Each piece is one of a kind, created in my small Colorado studio, that prioritizes ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility, resource efficiency, bio degradable packaging, along with craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
“Art, for me, is a form of transcendence, allowing me to rise above to worlds of vibrant colors. With nods to my roots, I reflect my experiences in this world.”
“To wander is to feel alive, to be in a constant state of discovery, to light up when experiencing something new.”
Art Leads the Way
To deconstruct the whole, pick up the pieces, and put them together again is to take a leap of faith and believe in redemption. Change is scary, but discarding things that no longer serve you is necessary for growth.
