Artist Statement

I am inspired by classic patterns and textures found in nature.  While traveling through the Washington, DC area, the wonderfully historic city where I live, I delight every time I see another example of art deco architecture.  Sketching it is irresistible and also informs my work. 

The excitement I feel while creating my pieces further immerses and connects me to them.  I have almost a kinesthetic connection to shapes, textures, and colors, and the way they inform my designs.  While developing my pieces they can take on a life of their own, which further fuels the creative process. 

I love it when a collector tells me that one of my pieces is their favorite piece of jewelry.  When they wear my designs, I want my collectors to feel the connection to the inspiration that I felt when creating the piece. 

Each of my one-of-a-kind handcrafted designs is comprised of fine silver, bronze, copper, semi-precious gemstones, pearls, or Swarovski crystals.
