Crafting Curiosities and Verse

to be your companion through the shadows and the shine. 

I believe that every fragment of our experience—whether a spark of inspiration or a moment of deep shadow—holds a story waiting to be told.

As a maker and a poet, my work is an exploration of these dualities. In the Cabinet of Curiosities, I create artisan jewelry and curios that serve as physical talismans for the journey. In The Library, I weave verses of everyday mythology and transformation, unearthing the sacred in the mundane.

My business, The Goth Folk, is a manifestation of the philosophy of reclamation—turning ordinary materials and raw emotions into artifacts that celebrate the beauty and edge of the human soul.

The Maker and the Muse

I am an artisan and poet dedicated to unearthing the sacred within the ordinary. My journey has always been guided by a love for the "beast and bloom"—a duality that defines both my family life in the dusty foothills of Southern California and the creative artifacts I share with the world.

For years, I have lived at the intersection of myth and metal. My business, The Goth Folk, was born from a passion for creating handmade pieces like pentacle hoops and celestial charms that act as talismans for those who walk between the shadows and the shine.

When I am not at my workbench, I am lost in The Library. My poetry, including my current collection Salt and Sanctity and the forthcoming

Playing in the Divine Dirt, explores themes of spirituality, transformation, and unearthing the sacred in the mundane.

 

The Reclaimed Voice is the space where the artifacts and verses find their context. It is a place to find one-off poems and essays, a look at what is currently on my workbench, and a peek into the inspirations that drive my craft.
