ABOUT
I’m an artist. I make wearable art.
Crown & Crystal is the home of my work. I create each piece by hand, using nails as the foundation to explore color, form, texture, detail, and embellishment.
I’m not interested in defining what nail art is supposed to be. The work can be intricate, excessive, minimal, impractical, or completely unexpected. The fact that it can be worn doesn’t make it any less art. It just means the canvas moves.

The Archive holds individual works. Collections bring those works together around a larger idea. Private commissions are created one of one.
