Nature inspires most of my jewelry, although occasionally a bit of whimsy and fantasy find their way into my designs as well. I work with silver, copper, bronze, and semi-precious stones. When a piece includes a stone, that stone acts as the start of my design process; its colors, shapes and patterns all help me decide on the story I hope to share. Once I have a design, the creation process starts with sheet metal. I construct each piece by hand, using a variety of tools to saw, shape, texture, solder, set stones and finish. I love sharing my passion with others, both the process and final results.
