Meet the artist behind the creations - I'm Carlee Stutz, a 25-year-old jewelry artisan with a deep passion for crafting sterling silver and turquoise jewelry, alongside sterling silver hardware. Originally hailing from the picturesque landscapes of northern Colorado, I now call rural eastern Oregon my home, where the enchanting high desert serves as a wellspring of inspiration for my work.

Nature's raw beauty, from the vast horizons to the intricate details of desert flora, infuses my creations with an authentic sense of the west. The allure of the high desert landscape reflects in each piece I meticulously handcraft and adds a touch of rustic elegance to each piece I create.

Currently, I have the honor of studying under the skilled guidance of Pat Horlacher, honing my craft creating a variety of sterling silver jewelry and hardware as well as the renowned Horlacher and Marsh bits (formally Marsh Bros and Al Teigen). The opportunity to work with such skilled craftsman is a true testament to my dedication to the art and my reverence for the western heritage.

Through my artistry, I aim to celebrate the spirit of the Great Basin, capturing the essence of the desert in each piece I create. As you explore my work, I invite you to immerse yourself in the magic of the high desert, and experience the timeless allure that springs forth from every piece I create.
