Artist spotlight | Toni Willis
Several years ago, a trip to the Outer Banks led Toni Willis to discover something unexpected: beautiful sea glass and shells scattered along the shoreline. Wanting to preserve those treasures, she began creating wire-wrapped jewelry, and what started as a simple creative project has continued to grow ever since.
Today, Toni creates nature-inspired jewelry using sea glass, shells, pebbles, twigs, and metals including copper, brass, and aluminum. Nature is her muse, and each piece reflects the beauty she finds in the world around her.
As a therapist and consultant, Toni has spent years practicing mindfulness and gratitude through the senses. Taking time to notice the beauty in everyday moments, meaningful relationships, and the natural world has deeply influenced both her creativity and her life.
We love the way her work transforms simple treasures from nature into pieces that can be worn, gifted, and cherished.
