About Me and Everlasting Echoes

Art has been part of my life through the best and worst of it. When I lost my daughter, Ally, pictured here days before everything changed, I turned to art again.

The first piece I made was for my own home. I’d looked for something to hold Ally’s ashes, but nothing felt like us. I wanted something that felt right in our home. Something I could look at every day and feel good about having there.

That’s where this started. For me, it was about keeping Ally close, in a space where she’d always been part of our everyday life. Now I make pieces for other people who are looking for that same feeling.

Everlasting Echoes has always meant the same thing: take what's left of someone and make it something you can hold. It started with ashes infused directly into the art, and for years that's what I made, for people and for pets.

The Sound of the Words

Now the echo is a voice.

Each sound wave design starts with a recording of a spoken phrase. Software turns that recording into the shape of the voice: the rises, the pauses, the way a sentence moves. That sound wave becomes the design I use to make the pieces.

How the wave appears depends on what I'm making. Sometimes it's engraved into metal or concrete. Sometimes I take the lines of the phrase, cut them from wood, and lay them out in exactly the pattern the voice made. Different material, same voice.

Who It's For

Some pieces honor someone who's gone. Some get given to people who are still here, so they carry your words around with them. Both matter.

Family Collaboration and Legacy

I share this work with my dad, Charles, pictured here celebrating his retirement. He volunteers his time in the studio, helping me with anything and everything I dream up. His steady presence makes this work possible.

Everything here is made by hand, the two of us, one piece at a time. Somewhere in that rhythm we make room for the things neither of us says out loud. It's how we honor Ally: by making something, side by side.

Press & Features

My work has been featured in publications including Shoutout Colorado and Voyage Denver, with a 2025 interview highlighting the evolution of my practice and the role of memorial art in healing.

The Archive

Before this, there were years of memorial pieces with ashes infused directly into the work, custom original pieces, and the mixed-media art that taught me how to make them. None of it's for sale, but it's the foundation everything else stands on.

Connection. Memory. Meaning.

Thank you for being here.
