I graduated in 1996 from the Rhode Island School
of Design. I live and work sharing my studio with my canine companions,
Zeke and Kato. My jewelry is handcrafted using lost was casting,
forming carving, and fabrication. Eighteen-karat gold, platinum
and sterling silver are my materials of choice.
Obsessed with a tactile world, I have amassed a collection of plant
and tree segments, minerals, fungi, insects, skeletons, hives and
photos of life, both hidden and apparent. From these inspirations,
I create pieces that carry with them, hints of these forms, textures
and moods.
While I do love to make one-of-a-kinds and conceptual jewelry,
my collection now predominantly consists of limited production
pieces that people can connect with, wear and enjoy daily. |
