Artist Statement
Being a jewelry artist is the best form of self expression. I absolutely love creating beautiful works of wearable art. When making my jewelry I employ a wide range of techniques to achieve my artistic goals. I will hand carve solder hammer forge and taper each piece of metal to make art that is both stunning and functional. My works are inspired by the things I love including travel fashion mythology and different cultures. Many of my designs are based largely on various places I’ve traveled to and the terrain of the natural world. I would also say the Art Nouveau movement inspires my work I love curvilinear and organic shapes and believe that translates into my jewelry. I set out to create jewelry that is unique yet easy to wear. So often many creative pieces are impractical or uncomfortable. Yet with so much of the same old jewelry out there it is easy to see why people are looking for something different. My jewelry manages to be comfortable but still stand out.
