About Naked Sage

First, I want to acknowledge that Naked Sage creates and operates on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the  Squamish, Musqeum, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. I am deeply humbled and grateful to create here.

I grew up on the West Coast of Canada, in a small town on Vancouver Island. Living close to nature has instilled in me a deep appreciation and love for the environment and the natural beauty it holds. My love of nature combined with years of shoe-string travel have ultimately inspired the creation of Naked Sage.   

I'm a  self-taught metalsmith. My work is built on an insatiable need to express myself through art. The creative process is something I have always loved. Before jewellery I worked in fibre arts, clay then onto paint, charcoal, pastel and installation work. When I found metal and minerals something just clicked.       

My inspiration comes from many parts of my life. Nature is always an abundant source I draw from in colour and form. My travels have also influenced my work a great deal. And at the centre of my work is my love and commitment to personal development and embodiment of one's truth.
