I graduated from Massachusetts College of Art with a BFA in metalsmithing. I'm currently residing in Nashville, TN.

I love copper. I love its color, and the way it moves, and the way it feels. I love how easily it forms to the imagination, and how grounded it will always remain. While silver calls up images of moonlight and mystery, and gold conjures sunshine and warmth, copper thinks in terms of earth and peace. Consequently, copper achieves an approachability unequaled by other metals. Copper begs to be touched, to be worn, when all other metals only desire to be seen.

    "It was my great fortune to find Kest, or maybe she found me?...I don't exactly remember. But she so generously shares her wonderful sense of humor and her spirited joy for life that a contact visit from her becomes an "event".

    On top of that, she just happens to be one of the most creative, prolific, and dedicated jewelers I know. She is tirelessly "raising the level" as she creates and shares her very original body of artwork. One can easily see her heart in what she does...adventurous, bold, courageous, and always keeping it real!"
