Ethereal Elements in the Sea & Sky

Posted by Lisa Mann · March 05, 2020

A riot of blues! Royals and aquas, teals and marines.

Posted by Lisa Mann · January 09, 2020

Having a keen eye for stones -- envisioning one with another and creating unexpected combinations -- is a hallmark for her bracelets and necklaces. Beyond statement pieces, Chris’ works capture the essence of the beach…a seahorse, a mermaid…perhaps a collection of stones shimmering like the ocean blue.
