I love making jewelry. I feel privileged to take part in the universal humanity of adornment, the long history of wearing some small portable artwork - maybe imbued with magical properties or perhaps it simply makes one feel beautiful or strong or loved. My desire is to make jewelry that lasts through generations. To do this I combine kiln fired enamels that I layer to achieve colors deep and rich as the hues of the botanical world, along with precious metals that I build, stitch and weave - creating unique and one of kind jewelry to adorn and be adored.
