Honored to be selected as one of the Showstoppers for the Paradise City Arts Festival in Northampton this Memorial weekend.

Paradise City Arts has long been known as one of the country’s premier fine art and craft shows, bringing together independent artists, jewelers, makers, musicians, and collectors from across the country. The Showstopper feature highlights artists whose work reflects originality, craftsmanship, and a strong creative perspective, so being included felt incredibly meaningful.

What I’ve always loved about Northampton, or “Noho” as many locals call it, is the creative atmosphere that exists everywhere you go. Art, music, small businesses, galleries, cafés, and live performance all seem to naturally exist side by side. It feels authentic, relaxed, and deeply supportive of artists and handmade work.

That same feeling carries through the Paradise City Arts show itself. Live music moves throughout the space all weekend, adding energy without overpowering the experience. People take their time, ask questions, connect with the work, and genuinely appreciate the craftsmanship behind what they’re seeing. It’s one of the few shows that still feels personal in the best way.

My jewelry has always focused on creating pieces with character — natural stones, heavy silver, texture, and details that feel timeless and wearable every day. The Showstopper feature captured that beautifully, and I’m grateful to have been recognized alongside so many talented artists and makers.
