Artist Statement
"Designed to be a part of your permanent collection, my jewelry is made to stand the test of time. I believe in heirlooms, in quality, in style over trend. I work with sterling silver, ancient bronze and many semi-precious stones to create pieces that you’ll want to wear for years to come.
I prefer ancient methods, and the most elemental forms of working. I find magic as I manipulate, melt, and pour the molten metal as I shape it into forms of my own creation. The elements of ritual, of intention, can be found in each of my pieces. I feel a connection with silver. There is a link that connects us to the women who first wore silver, on different shores, in ancient times.
Having been born into a family of artists, creativity is highly valued. Drawn to the lunar, the feminine and the mysterious, I find beauty in nature’s imperfections. This beauty is what I strive for in my jewelry."
