I grew up in New York and received a BFA at Loyola
University in Chicago. I have lived in San Francisco for 12 ,years
working for various jewelers where I learned most of my skills.
It is hard for me to pin point my inspiration, but I can get fixated
on shape and play with it a lot, the latest being a teardrop shape.
I also tend to focus on one stone for awhile, lately rubies.
I like movement in jewelry, and use hinges and jump rings so components
can move nicely. I think my work is sometimes modern, the circle
elements have a machined, turned look.
But I also feel the work has organic qualities, with the teardrop
shapes and the dark oxidation patina on many of the pieces.
I like my jewelry to be very versatile, jewelry someone feels comfortable
wearing casually, but also feels dressy enough for a special occasion.
