My
work combines precious metals, stones, plastics, glass or
whatever shiny object catches my eye. My designs are
contemporary, combining both organic and geometric forms,
usually with unusual and colorful stones, glass or found
materials. I consider each one of my pieces a little piece
of fine art. I like making pieces that are different and
unique but still very wearable. The majority of my pieces
are pendants, necklaces, and earrings, though I do
occasionally make other items. My main focus in the past was
fabricating metals to create my designs. In 2004 I
discovered a new medium called Precious Metal Clay®, which
is comprised of either pure silver or 22K gold. This
material has inspired many new works. I enjoy exploring this
new medium and combining it with my other techniques and
materials. In 2006 I received my PMC® (Precious Metal Clay®)
Certification. I strive always to improve on my designs and
skills and to make jewelry that is creative, unusual,
elegant and fun to wear.
