Like that bronzed baby shoe sitting on your grandparents’ mantle, the bark collection captures a little piece of rustic, fleeting beauty, preserving its essence in metal, keeping it alive for an eternity. This is the first collection introduced to the heavy metal family that truly embodies the mixed marriage of cosmopolitan and country in my life.

Each piece in the bark collection is cast from an actual piece of birch bark collected on one of my many walks through the woods around my parent’s home in Vermont.
