The owner of Natalie T. Designs, Denise Graves, is an artist, goldsmith, jewelry designer and proud member of the League of NH Craftsmen.

Denise explored every medium available to her throughout her young life. She formalized her creative passions and love of art and design in college where she earned a degree in fine arts with a concentration in metalsmithing. An apprenticeship with an Italian jeweler soon followed, where Denise learned the art of diamond setting including pavé, prong, flush, and channel settings. 

Early in her career, Denise owned a retail store called, “Mint Jewel-ups” in Woodstock, Vt. and has worked on custom designs and commissioned pieces throughout her life. Her work can be found at various League of NH Craftsmen shops across New Hampshire, Hannah Grimes Marketplace and Vermont Artisan Design in Brattleboro, Vt. Please check this page for up-to-date galleries.

Denise has also taught metal smithing in various regions of the United States, sharing her love of the forging process with her students. While she enjoys teaching, Denise considers herself an eternal student, as well.

Denise is happiest near the ocean or in her studio, which is currently nestled amidst the lakes and mountains of New Hampshire's Monadnock Region in beautiful Dublin where she lives with her husband, Paul and near her daughter and family.
