Art is integral to life. Wearing beautiful objects is a simple way to bring art into your life.  I enjoy working with metals and gemstones to bring out their inherently unique and striking qualities. 

The passion started with a silversmithing class in 1996 and was further inspired with a lapidary class, learning stone cutting and polishing techniques. From there, it became an adventure with an infinite myriad of possibilities with precious metals, slabs of stone and individual pearls. 

Nature provides beautiful raw materials, and I translate those raw materials into my vision of wearable works of art. My pieces are designed to enhance the everyday beauty of life. 

The designs flow from imagination and evolve from the raw materials into art. Sterling silver is manipulated, formed, soldered, drilled and impressed with designs, then united with one-of-a-kind exotic and traditional stones, gems and pearls; and some designs are created from unique materials not commonly used for jewelry. 

My designs attempt to widen your perspective of jewelry. From timeless strands of pearls to eclectic earrings and bracelets, there is something for everyone enjoy.
