queer owned. woman owned. sustainable.
I am an artist and goldsmith based out of Charlottesville, Virginia. My affinity for nature and upbringing in Pakistan, specifically my early exposure to the tribal embroidery and mehndi in the Sindh, inspires many of my designs. I enjoy the subtle interplay of natural and spiritual symbolism, which often manifests in combinations of floral and geometric shapes. I use precious and semi-precious stones to accent and add complexity to my work.
My passion for metalsmithing derives from an interest in the recyclability of metals. I love the infinite life of metal, the fact that something old can become new again and even this new state isn't static, or guaranteed.
