artist statement

    Oscar Wilde’s quote, “One should be a work of art or wear a work of art” expresses my jewelry point of view. Jewelry reflects the artistic taste of the wearer. I approach my designs as miniature sculpture, to be viewed from all sides and yet be functional to enhance the body. This style has developed into soft curving lines that incorporate elements of balance, form and color into each piece. I regard the quality of the craftsmanship and materials to equal the integrity of the design.
