I am a designer and long-time crafter of beaded jewelry. For years, I worked with delicate beads and intricate patterns, but deep inside, I longed to explore something more organic — a way to express myself through wax carving, shaping forms with my hands and heart.
My childhood was spent in nature, surrounded by its quiet beauty. We lived closely with the earth, working the land, caring for animals, and eating what nature gave us from spring to winter. I remember sipping birch sap from the trees, picking the first tender buds, gathering wild herbs, and tasting the first sun-warmed strawberries of the season.
Only now, looking back, do I realize how deeply connected we were to nature. It shaped us, grounded us, and quietly taught us about the cycles of life.
As years passed, village life turned into city life. The closeness faded, but the connection never left me. I’ve always sought ways to return to that feeling, to preserve it, and to express it in new forms.
Now, through my handmade, wax-carved jewelry, I mindfully reconnect with nature in a different way — shaping soft, organic forms as quiet reminders of where we come from and where we will return.
A deep part of this journey is honoring what has been lost. Many of my pieces are inspired by extinct flora and fauna — ancient blooms, vanished creatures, and forgotten botanical forms that once graced this earth. Through my work, I hope to preserve their memory in wearable art. Each piece carries a story of life, loss, and remembrance — tiny, tactile reminders of the natural world’s fragility and beauty.
I create each piece slowly and intentionally, hoping to offer others that same sense of grounding, calm, and connection to the natural world.
