Artist Statement
I find sublime beauty in natural forms. My jewelry is not just about the materials, but
about the contrast in the materials and the dichotomy that is captured in nature. I feel a deep sense of awe when my garden comes alive.
My current work was inspired by a trip to Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica, where I
collected seed pods and took images of the indigenous plants and insects that thrive in this intense habitat.
I work in high karat gold,palladium and silver. My designs often feature natural stones to highlight their innate brilliance and flaws. Most of my work starts with a casting and have many fabrication steps thereafter.
