Ariana
My work begins with material, feeling, & thought. I gather what I’m drawn to — stones, paper, metal, images, textures — and spend time with them until they begin to take form. I create jewelry and original works guided by instinct, influenced by ancient adornment, the natural world, and the quiet presence objects can hold. I let each piece unfold slowly, allowing the process to lead rather than forcing a result, so that what emerges feels both intentional and discovered.
Nothing I make is replicated. Every work is one of a kind, shaped through attention, touch, and time. I’m drawn to forms that feel as though they have always existed — pieces meant to be worn, lived with, or kept close, carrying something of the material and the moment they came from.
GALLERY
COLLAGE
My collage work begins with gathering. I collect fragments — reclaimed paper, printed imagery, texture, botanical elements — and sit with them before any composition begins. I’m drawn to pieces that already hold a history, marks of time, or a quiet presence.
Rather than planning an image outright, I allow relationships to form slowly between fragments. Shapes are moved, layered, removed, and returned until something settles into balance. The process is intuitive and responsive. Nothing is replicated. Each composition exists only once, built by hand through time and attention.
JEWELRY
My jewelry begins with material. Gemstones are selected individually for their quality, structure, and energy. I work primarily with gold-filled metals chosen for their weight, warmth, and longevity. Each element is handled and arranged until a form begins to emerge.
I’m influenced by ancient adornment and natural structure — pieces that feel discovered rather than designed. Every necklace and pair of earrings is assembled by hand, allowing the stone and metal to guide proportion and movement. No two pieces are identical. Each one carries its own presence.
