I create fused glass in my studio; beginning with sheets of glass, I cut, stack, and shape pieces and then fuse them together to create original functional art. Most are sandblasted and fire polished to give a matte finish to add an extra dimension to the art piece.

An artisan, photographer and entrepreneur, Natalie has been creating unique designs since she was 13 years old. Repurposing anything and everything from jewelry, furniture, clothing, and even recipes, Natalie’s driving passion is to turn something old and loved into something new and beautiful, while preserving the heart and soul of the original piece.
In October 2012, Natalie launched her business, Peculiar Sentiments. Creatively combining her only available resources: her courage and creativity, a stock of remnant leather, and vintage jewelry from her late grandmother she began creating unique handcrafted cuff bracelets. Encouraged by her family, friends, and customers, Natalie began expanding her repertoire beyond cuff bracelets, to include bib necklaces, earrings, hats, and much more.

It was 20 years ago in a stone cutting class at UT Austin that the ah-ha light came on and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life and only recently that I have decided to do it for me! I’ve expireinced it all, Cartier, Bulgari, I’ve repaired and refurbished jewelry for the finest antique jewelers in the country and I’ve been inspired by them all. I love jewels! I love wearable, livable jewelry. Jewels are meant to be worn and lived in, not holed away in the dark safety deposit box.
Recently I have been taking old vintage and antique jewelry finds and giving them new life by reinterpreting them into something modern and wearable. My repurposed jewels are a balance of metals and textures, old and new, real and faux, wearable, livable art. “
