Artist Statement
I feel privileged to take part in the universal humanity of adornment, the long history of wearing some small portable artwork - maybe with magical properties or maybe it just makes you feel good or beautiful or strong or loved. In this world where so much is made not to endure, I strive to make jewelry that will last through generations. To do this I use silver, copper and gold metal to build with, and wire, that I weave and stitch. I rely on the historical techniques of a metalsmith: sawing, soldering, casting, forming, filing. Using kiln fired enamels for colors as deep and rich as the hues of birds, sea life and botanicals where I often find my palette. Iā??m also inspired by textiles, buttons and fond of geometric patterns.
