Nothing is ever what it seems ....
People often ask me why go by the name ‘Evil Pawn Jewelry’…My favorite comments are ‘Is it evil?’…’Is it a Pawn shop?’ No it is neither evil nor a pawn shop.

I remember people telling me it was suicide to stick with that name. No one would ever take you seriously or a lot of people fear the word ‘evil’. A big part of something I have learned while being on this Earth is things are not what they seem and you must always read between the lines. I named my artistic venture after a life situation. Wilde wrote that, “Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life”. My art has always imitated my life, the things I have lived through, learned, and conquered. There is so much to see in each life that only can be seen sometimes through reflection. Therefore it is all meant to be no matter when or how you finally see it. The name came from an experience I had when a best friend hurt me pretty bad and I felt she was an ‘Evil Pawn’ in a plot to hurt me. A plot another girl had put together but that didn’t matter to me. The only thing that mattered was that my best friend hurt me so badly. She was one of the three defining best friendships in my young life & the most red lettered. I decided I would not let myself change. I would not be afraid to love, give, and trust because I had been hurt. I decided that the negative would always result in a positive, a lesson, a gift and I would never let pain put my candle out. With any betrayal in my back I would learn, keep on loving, and never let anyone change my mind about people. I have nothing but love. The Evil Pawn’s in this world can knock you off the board if you let them but you have to remember you are the King of your life, the main player, the one in your reality that is eternal. Pawns come & go but the King of the board has the best moves.
