My name is Joell Haley-Fence. I was born and raised in Portland, OR where I was exposed to a stark contrast of exciting city life and beautiful opportunities to immerse myself in nearby nature.
I moved to southern Oregon as a young adult where I attended Southern Oregon University. I graduated in 2006 with two degrees, one in Geology and another in Environmental Science. I went on to work in environmental remediation and conservation in the southern Oregon region before switching career paths to resource exploration and mining. Meeting my wonderful husband in 2006 certainly had something to do with the change. He became my right hand man in the field, as well as my main squeeze. We have worked together since 2008 on various exploration projects, mine clean-ups as well as operating our own small scale mines.
My husband and I work closely with the earth, and we care about it greatly. Our most recent project has taken us to a piece of family owned property in Nevada.
In 2020 I took yet another turn in my career and began focusing on jewelry. I truly love it and am rarely seen without it. Soon after I was creating and selling on a small scale with a dream to press ahead and make a business.
I live in the Siskiyou mountains with Jesse. Our off-grid home is where we create all the pieces seen on this website. The name of the business is no accident. Some days are much more mountain home than art. I spend my time shoveling snow in the winter, gardening and exploring my beautiful backyard in the spring and summer and cutting firewood and preserving food in the fall. Living off grid is a job as much as a dream.
I find inspiration in the quiet of nature, but also in the loud excitement friends share while camping gathered around a fire.
Stay tuned to see where life takes me!
