I’m Louisa.

I grew up in Aspen, Colorado and now find myself in Missoula, Montana living on the side of a mountain, surrounded by huge ponderosa pine trees. 

My love of metal was sparked during a welding sculpture class my senior year of college. Once I began thinking and creating in three dimensions, my world shifted. I was able to tap into my preference for using tools and my hands to construct tangible objects, while deepening my knowledge and understanding of how things are made.

Most of my work begins with an individual flower, leaf or barnacle, which is then re-imagined in gold, bronze or silver. Learn more about lost wax casting here. Comfort is of the upmost importance. As an outdoor enthusiast and lover of travel, my aim is to create jewelry that can stand up to life's adventures and that you feel good wearing!

When I am not working in my home studio, you can find me trying a new recipe in the kitchen, starting (and not finishing) a craft project, mountain biking with my husband or exploring the woods with our two dogs (and sometimes cat).
