Artist Statement
My jewelry is an exploration of the manipulation of form. I enjoy expanding on one element or concept in my creation process to see where it leads me. Whether it be the use of texture, form, or intellectual concept, the relationship within a piece drives my path. I utilize traditional silversmithing techniques and materials alongside Metal Clay to celebrate the beauty of imperfection. I design and hand fabricate every piece. Due to the materials, each piece is unique.
As a mother of two quickly growing children, I have become reflective of how my creative pursuits can impact others. I want my pieces to honor the loveliness of individuality, show that from our own perceived imperfections come great beauty and our adversity comes strength.
