Being self-taught, my goal is to create an interesting
piece of jewelry that exhibits a balanced sense of design – stands the test of
time, and is yet unique. In addition, the jewelry must be comfortable to wear,
have an appropriate scale and weight
For the most part I approach my
work intuitively, which often adds an element of surprise. Pieces of metal,
glass, faceted or natural stones, colors and textures around me are the forces
that inspire my jewelry designs.

I draw inspiration from art and
nature, but seldom start with a firm idea of what my final design will be. Works
come together on my workbench as elements find each other through proximity,
association, and chance.
