Working with the materials is the most exciting part of the process for me. The diverse selection of glass I use in my one of a kind pieces, combined with beads and wire, allows me to exercise my love of color in endless combinations.My jewelry designs tend to be abstract, allowing the wearer to create a personal relationship with the piece.My jewelry combines bold, simple shapes with an artistic blend resulting in a natural flow. I use textures and surface decorations for tactile and visual interest. Wearability is always a critical consideration; my jewelry needs to be comfortable and graceful as well as sculptural, strong and well crafted.
