Ardapony Squared Artist’s Bio

After working for many years with the international renowned wire-wrapping master, Dallas Lovett, I was offered a sales position with Barney’s of NY in Scottsdale, AZ’s fine jewelry department. Within two years, on January 3, 2013, I stepped out on my own and began designing unique, one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry with a tendency toward the Brutalism style. My designs were widely accepted, and in 2017 I won 2nd place I the Arizona State Fair’s Milk Weeds special contest for my sterling silver necklace entitled Spirits and Souls. I’ve become known as “the jeweler who buries jewelry”, and have buried jewelry as an offering to nature’s inspiration in Florence, Alabama to Granite Falls north of Seattle, WA and on and around the mountains all over the Phoenix Greater Metropolitan area. While looking for employment In 2017, I came across Cosanti in Paradise Valley. I was new to Paolo Soleri and, to say the least, my world changed! I am so grateful for my time making Cause Bells for Cosanti. My current focus with Ardapony Squared is the oversight of our designs and the development of our collections.
