Finding beauty in shy places
A celebration of the tiny details that hide - not asking for your attention - and yet, are so worthy of it.
Hello, I'm Hillary
I am the owner and artist behind cameraSHY cove.
As a former biologist, my collection expresses a deep appreciation of the natural world into metal. I look for things that are a bit "cameraSHY," and by that I mean, things often overlooked, things that require careful observation and incite a depth of wonder and marvel contrary to their scale.
Thus, I hunt for hidden beauty.
I aim to be captured by the smallest details of nature that give sense to a bigger scope of life, in both it's resilient strength & beautiful frailty.
My work is dainty and feminine while rugged in aesthetic and charm.
I believe in making jewelry for everyday occassions.
I have been a metalsmith for over a decade and believe in sustainable practices, good craftsmanship, and solid materials.
Thank you so much for browsing into my online shop. Feel free to reach out if you have questions about a product or order.
