My journey as an artist began in 2020, months after serving as a front line nurse at the start of the pandemic. It was the darkest time in my life, and I longed to find beauty again. I turned to art as a means to process the trauma and find solace.

Initially, I explored the medium of resin, making basic jewelry and designs. It wasn't until I started crafting Star Trek and space-themed art that everything clicked. It felt like a tribute to Trek's values of hope, sacrifice, and the good of the many, that had inspired me to keep going when I wanted to give up.

The pieces I create celebrate my love for Star Trek and as a testament to the beauty and wonder of deep space. From modern Trek LGBTQ+ communication badges to Starfleet-inspired necklaces, and intricate spacescapes brimming with vibrant colors, each artwork contains my hope for a better future.

What makes Stem Bolt Arts special is attention to detail and the time-consuming processes involved in creating each piece. No two items are alike, as I work with six different types of resin and a vast array of pigments and natural additions. By infusing each creation with a personal touch, every artwork takes on its own unique personality. Nothing offered looks like it came from a machine, and you can see the human touch in my art. Thanks for stopping by and checking out Stem Bolt Arts!
