Artist Statement

I strive to create jewelry and sculpture that is eye catching and distinctive with a rustic and organic flair. I am naturally drawn to metal, and enjoy working in traditional and alternative metals. Vitreous enamel and powder-coating have introduced me to a whole new world of color, and endless experimentation. I use them to design focal pieces and accents in my work. They range from elegant to dramatic, and showcase a variety of colors, patterns and textures.
My designs reflect diverse sources of inspiration that include nature, architecture, culture, spirituality, and the natural beauty of the rustic and organic.
