I am interested in the culture of adornment: its history and its function. The presence of jewelry spans the globe and time. Because of this I am influenced by ethnic and ritualistic adornment. I have also always been drawn to the intricacies of space, the world of the minutia.
Combining these interests with sterling silver, gold, semi-precious stones, glass, imagery on paper and pewter, I create one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces to wear. I use both fabrication and casting techniques.
Within the traditions of metalsmithing and adornment, I aim to create jewelry that is unique and meaningful to the wearer.
Custom pieces are welcome. Enjoy!
