"Lives Saved Charm"
Each "Lives Saved Charm"​ has a leaf and live bullet to represent one life saved. With all of the violence and gun crime in the United States, these charms are my way to reduce this by reducing the number of bullets on the streets. "A bullet in my art is not a bullet in the heart."
​
You can purchase them through my secure Shop or you can also donate to the cause by clicking the "Donate" button. (Proceeds of sales & donations will be donated to select anti-violence campaigns)
​
All of the charms are there own unique piece of art and not one is like another. Additionally I make custom pieces that range from adding ashes of our fallen loved ones to larger pieces for desk or shelf display. Please contact me and I would be happy to discuss what I can create to suit your needs. Stop the hate and violence!
​
(IMPORTANT: Carrying live ammo in some locations and states may be illegal, even though these are encased in epoxy. Please check your local laws for updates. Keep jewelry away from open flames.)
This is a very emotional and beautiful piece I created with my father's ashes. This one is obviously not for sale but I can make custom versions if you would like to remember your loved ones.
"Custom States/Countries"
With this project I incorporate the natural beauty of wood, and one captivating manifestation of this art form involves crafting wooden pieces in the shape of states and countries, infused with meaningful symbolism. At the heart of each creation lies an inlaid epoxy heart, symbolizing love, unity, and the preciousness of life. What makes these pieces truly remarkable is the inclusion of bullets within the epoxy, serving as a profound representation of a life saved. By transforming bullets that were once instruments of harm into symbols of hope, these artworks carry a powerful message of transformation, resilience, and the potential for positive change. The juxtaposition of the bullets within the resin serves as a poignant reminder that violence can be halted, and each bullet's presence in the artwork signifies the permanent shift away from its destructive path. Through the skilled craftsmanship and artistic vision, these epoxy art pieces in wood not only captivate the eye but also inspire contemplation on the power of redemption and the boundless possibilities for a brighter future.

Please contact me and I would love to make one of your favorite state or country. Custom orders available. Stop the hate and violence!

"8 Bullets: Time for Change"
In memory of the tragic event that took place in May 1988, where Rebecca Wight lost her life to a gunman while out camping and hiking with her partner Claudia Brenner. 8 shots were fired, killing Wight and injuring Brenner. "The trip should have been a chance to enjoy some romantic downtime amid the busy routine of studying, as well as to appreciate the beautiful wilderness of the forest."

This piece is the first of many that will remove guns and gun parts from society and reduces violence by making violent items into art. Stop the hate and violence!
"Humans | There Are Things More Dangerous Than Guns"
My first gun I've destroyed. This Bersa 380 is incased in epoxy resin with a dried rose and butterflies (fake) to represent how taking this one gun could create a butterfly effect of safety and no harm. With one more off the street, I feel that is one more life that is saved.
​
The title, "Humans | There are things more dangerous than guns" is based on a phrase I have heard from people who were trying to defend the need for more weapons in the hand of, what they think are, good people with guns. That said, humans can be the most dangerous things on this planet, but also the most beautiful and caring. The gun is a tool to increase that dangerous and hateful side. Remove the tool and it's harder to produce injury or death based off of hate. Check out the process Tiktok HERE. Stop the hate and violence!
