My jewelry combines bold, simple shapes in a sensual blend that results in an organic geometry. I use textures and surface patterns for tactile and visual interest. Wearability is always a critical consideration for me: my jewelry needs to be comfortable and graceful as well as sculptural,
strong and well crafted.
Working with the materials is the most exciting part of the process for me. Simply put, I like making things. Give me some metal and a pot of good coffee and I'm ready to go. The diverse selection of stones I use in my one-of-a-kind pieces: from dinosaur bone to drusy, opals and diamonds, allows me to exercise my love of color in endless combinations. These stones are then set in sterling silver,
18k and 22k gold.

My design vocabulary derives from a wide range of sources which reflects my personal interests: the natural forms of rocks and seashells that I've collected since childhood, the lines and contours of landscaps where I've lived and travelled, the rich surfaces and intriguing shapes I find in
weathered areas of the city.
I continue to be interested in, and inspired by, tribal and ancient jewelry that illustrates human need for arranging found objects in new, personal patterns. My jewelry designs tend to be abstract, leaving the wearer open to create a personal, intuitive relationship with the piece.
