For millennia, wearable art has played a significant and increasingly important part in how we present ourselves to others. Like all personal styles, jewelry is a defining instrument. It is a form of communication because in one way or another it makes a statement about us. Creating something someone else finds beautiful, meaningful, or heart-warming, or communicates for the wearer who they are or makes them feel confident, happy or complete - this is immensely fulfilling for me. It’s the perfect merging of passion, purpose and outcome.
Hand crafted distinctive and versatile sterling silver jewelry and accessories including bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings, and shawl & hair pins. Created by manipulating metal sheet and wire from raw form, techniques include cutting, shaping, hammering, soldering, rolling, stamping, and bezeling. My designs are composed of clean, crisp shapes and smooth flowing lines, integrating a variety of metals, Maine beach stones & sea glass, gemstones, and beads. Simple, sleek, and organic.
