Artist Statement
My jewelry is inspired by nature?s organic structures ? especially those of the ocean, such as coral reefs.
When I scuba dive, I draw inspiration from the ocean?s beauty. With global warming, pollution, and overfishing, reefs are dying all over the world. So, it is my passion to create art with reef-like motifs to share that beauty with others, some of whom will never see a living reef.
I only use recycled metal and ethically, sustainably mined gemstones as my work reflects the natural instead of taking away from it.
