Artist Statement
I create clusters of gemstones with sterling silver decorated bezel work. Some bezels are etched surrounds others pierced to let light illuminate the stones or fabricated to make the stones attractive from all sides. I also like to make wearable art out of timeless elements such as Baroque or Spanish architecture. These pieces are either carved out of wax or fabricated in layers using piercing for the base soldered sides sealing the top and finally creating the third layer with individual cutouts in 18 k gold. My fine arts background includes the University of Colorado Parsons School of Design and Cecelia Bauer's Studio in NYC
