Many families want a way to keep someone they love close. In my Victoria, British Columbia studio, I carefully incorporate cremation ashes into molten borosilicate glass, transforming them into lasting heirloom-quality memorial jewelry and keepsakes. Each pendant, bead, or paperweight is individually flame-worked at the torch, making every piece naturally one of a kind.
Created with over 20 years of glassblowing and flameworking experience, these ashes-to-glass memorials honour parents, grandparents, siblings, partners, and beloved pets. The finished glass captures light, movement, and memory — preserving your loved one's presence in a form you can hold close every day.
Please allow 2-8 weeks for memorial completion.
My glass art lives in two worlds — meaningful memorial pieces created with ashes, and West Coast inspired jewelry reflecting the cosmos, light and nature of Vancouver Island — so you can hold what matters most close.
Inspired by the shifting light of the Pacific and the natural beauty of Vancouver Island, my handmade glass jewelry reflects the rhythm of the West Coast. Each piece is flameworked at the torch using borosilicate glass and traditional techniques refined over two decades.
Ocean tones, silver and gold fuming, celestial hues, and organic forms create lightweight, durable jewelry designed for everyday wear. No two pieces are identical — subtle variations in heat and movement make every pendant and earring uniquely yours.

Every piece begins with flame, glass, and patience. In my Victoria, British Columbia studio, I shape molten borosilicate glass at the torch using traditional flameworking techniques refined over more than 20 years. The process allows me to create durable, lightweight handmade glass jewelry inspired by the ocean, shifting light, and natural beauty of Vancouver Island.
Working with temperatures above 2,500°F, the glass softens and becomes fluid. Subtle movements of heat, gravity, and hand tools guide each piece into its final form. Silver and gold fuming create luminous colours within the glass, while memorial designs respectfully incorporate cremation ashes when families choose ashes-to-glass remembrance pieces.
While pieces may share a similar design language, no two are ever identical. Each pendant, bead, or keepsake is shaped by hand, resulting in unique glass art that reflects both the natural world and the stories it represents.
