Hello! I’m Jeffrey, a multidisciplinary artist operating out of Kansas City, MO, US. My work explores themes of myth, ritual, and identity.

I make high-quality magical and art jewelry for discerning witches, magicians, and occultists. I specialize in devotional jewelry and Picatrix images. I also do custom design and fabrication.

I write fiction under the name JS Groves. You can read my current novel, The Prince’s Fighters, at its web page. You can read a lot more of my writing at my patreon.

My backlist is mostly available at amazon. I’m working on getting everything up at bookshop.org and elsewhere. In the meantime, though:
