Products

I make one of a kind and limited edition earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings in gold, silver, copper, and brass, occasionally incorporating less traditional materials like rubber, resin, plastic, colored pencil, polymer clay, and paint.

Artist Statement

I make jewelry because it’s the most fun thing I can imagine doing! I pursue design ideas and techniques that appeal to me personally – making things I’d like to wear myself, whether or not they are consistent with current trends. I am equally intrigued by natural organic forms and by rhythmic geometric forms. I work mainly in traditional jewelry metals and am most fascinated by discovering what these metals, on their own, can become, although I sometimes incorporate less traditional materials for contrast and fun.  Every item I make gives me ideas for the next project. Once I’ve made something once, I’m eager to make it again, but with some modifications, or to move on to something entirely new.
