I graduated in 1996 from the Rhode Island School of Design. I live and work sharing my studio with my canine companions, Zeke and Kato. My jewelry is handcrafted using lost was casting, forming carving, and fabrication. Eighteen-karat gold, platinum and sterling silver are my materials of choice.
Obsessed with a tactile world, I have amassed a collection of plant and tree segments, minerals, fungi, insects, skeletons, hives and photos of life, both hidden and apparent. From these inspirations, I create pieces that carry with them, hints of these forms, textures and moods.
While I do love to make one-of-a-kinds and conceptual jewelry, my collection now predominantly consists of limited production pieces that people can connect with, wear and enjoy daily.
