Coming from a family of craftsmen and artists, I grew up with an appreciation for art and creative discovery. I majored in Fine Art and Interior Design. After a successful career in Hotel Design, I have discovered a new path for my creative energy. I have always been drawn to clean lines and the blending of colors and textures found in nature. These are my inspirations to create a classic contemporary style.
I use semi precious stones, rough cut and polished, fine silver, sterling silver, copper and brass in combination to create unique designs. Each piece is unique, fabricated using traditional metalsmithing techniques,Patinas are sometimes added to affect the color and tone of the metal. I also use an ancient technique of fusing fine silver to create loops which I shape and fit together to produce intricate hand-woven chains.
For me, the art of jewelry making is a continuation of my journey of discovery in design. Exchanging my drafting tools for my torch and hammers, I am inspired to create unique, casually elegant elements that can be appreciated for generations.
