Nature, creation, love, compassion, and diverse cultures are my inspirations. I love new forms, thoughts, ideas, and the sharing of those ideas with others. In other words, I love cultural journeys that lead me down the path of discovery. I collect beautiful, powerful, and unique one-of-a-kind artifacts (textiles, jewelry, and all manners of objects) during my travels to what I believe are “Gem-spots” around the world. I then incorporate those finds into a number of different accessories. My brainchild, Purple Agave, puts together an eclectic collection of indigenous arts and crafts creations from around the world. My company is committed to unique design, quality, and helping others. All my creations incorporate one-of-a-kind art pieces into high quality merchandise, in order to provide my customers a truly unique experience. My items are limited edition. My signature series are all made locally in Los Angeles, California. Your purchases will help give more work to more indigenous artists, and enable them to not only provide for their families, but also strengthen the communities in which they live and work. I wish, that in a small way, my passion would help to create better cultural understanding and tolerance between peoples of myriad geographic backgrounds all over this planet. I believe we are not islands separated from each other; we are one, we are whole. Hopefully, you enjoy my products as much as I love making them.
