About The Silver Bohemian
A creative life built from stories, reclaimed beauty, and moments of sacred pause.
Welcome
There comes a moment in every creative life when making things becomes something more than craft. It becomes a way of listening … to memory, to meaning, and to the quiet threads that shape who we are becoming.
The Silver Bohemian grew from that moment.
What began as a personal studio practice slowly unfolded into a space where art, story, ritual, and community meet. Here you’ll find candles poured with intention, wearable art shaped from reclaimed materials, objects created for the home, and written reflections that explore the beauty of lives continually being mended and renewed.
Everything created here carries the same quiet intention: to invite a little more presence, beauty, and reflection into everyday life.
My Story
I have always been drawn to the stories objects carry.
Some come from the hands that made them.
Others come from the lives they have traveled through.
Over time I found myself working at that intersection, where creativity meets memory, and where materials once forgotten are given a new voice. Vintage fabrics, worn textures, reclaimed pieces, and natural elements all hold a history that invites transformation.
My creative path has never followed a straight line. Like many meaningful journeys, it has moved through seasons of art, healing work, storytelling, and community gathering. Each season has shaped the work that now lives within The Silver Bohemian.
What began as a small creative practice gradually became a studio devoted to art, reflection, and the quiet beauty of becoming.
A Life of Many Paths
Before The Silver Bohemian fully took shape, my life moved through many different seasons.
I am a Marine Corps veteran, a lifelong maker, and a practitioner in the healing arts. My path has woven together creativity, service, and a deep interest in the ways people heal and reconnect with themselves.
Over the years I have studied and practiced several modalities that inform my work today, including sound therapy, yoga, and reflective creative practices that support personal transformation.
These experiences have shaped the philosophy behind this studio: that creativity is not only an art form, but also a way of listening more deeply to life itself.
The Work
The Silver Bohemian is both a creative studio and a gathering space. Within this work you’ll find several threads woven together:
Candles & Ritual
Hand-poured candles and ritual objects designed to create moments of pause and presence.
Wearable Art
Jewelry and adornment pieces that carry story, texture, and individuality.
Art for the Home
Studio creations crafted from reclaimed materials that bring beauty and meaning into the spaces where we live.
Books & Story
Written reflections and storytelling, including my book Tattered & Mended: Soulful Stories of Life, Love and Legacy, which explores the memories and meaning held within the objects we carry through life.
Each piece is created slowly and intentionally, with a deep respect for the materials and the stories they hold.
Gatherings in the Studio
Throughout the year the studio also opens its doors for small gatherings.
From Soulful Saturdays to sound therapy sessions and creative workshops, these experiences offer people a chance to step away from the noise of daily life and reconnect with creativity, reflection, and community.
These gatherings have become some of the most meaningful moments within this work: reminders that creativity often deepens when it is shared.
In Conversation
From time to time this work travels beyond the studio through interviews, podcasts, creative collaborations, and documentary storytelling.
These conversations allow the ideas behind the work … creativity, healing, memory, and becoming … to reach new audiences and continue unfolding in unexpected ways.

Our Life & Work Together
The Silver Bohemian is also a shared life.
My partner Jim is part of this creative journey in ways both seen and unseen. A longtime journalist and storyteller himself, Jim brings a deep love of narrative, curiosity, and conversation into the rhythm of the studio.
Together we travel, explore small towns, discover local stories, and gather inspiration from the places and people we encounter along the way.
His perspective as a writer and observer of life often finds its way into the work … in the stories we tell, the places we visit, and the conversations that shape the creative life we share.
The Deeper Thread
Over time I’ve come to believe that creativity is more than a way of making things … it is a way of paying attention. It asks us to slow down, to listen more carefully, and to notice the quiet wisdom woven through our lives. Whether through art, story, or shared gatherings, my hope is to create spaces where people can pause long enough to hear their own inner voice again. So much of what we seek is already within us, waiting patiently for a moment of stillness.
An Invitation
If you have found your way here, you are already part of the story.
Whether you come for the art, the words, the gatherings, or simply a moment of quiet inspiration, I’m grateful that our paths have crossed.
