About Pat

Hello! I'm Pat, the creative force behind my namesake jewelry line. My pieces are designed to be both unique and adaptable, allowing you to express and elevate your individual style. My journey into jewelry-making began during a challenging period when debilitating chronic pain turned my world upside down. Crafting jewelry became my lifeline—it redirected my attention away from the pain and gave me renewed purpose and identity. The creative process revitalized my energy and helped me move forward despite the challenges I faced. My hope is that each piece you wear serves as a tangible symbol of encouragement, reminding you of your resilience and offering inspiration when you need it most.

Years have passed since launching my jewelry brand, and I'm grateful that lifestyle modifications and an effective medication have brought my pain to much more manageable levels. This improvement has allowed me to return to other artistic pursuits I love, including artist’s books, assemblages, and collages. 

I hold an undergraduate degree in art from Wheaton College in Norton, MA and a studio diploma from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA. My work has been shown in museums and galleries across the United States. I live and work in a 19th Victorian house near the coast in southern New Hampshire with my rescue dog, Bentley. Read my CV.
