I draw my inspiration from my Italian heritage, my love of antiques and anything vintage, my studies and travel abroad, time spent in my garden or at the beach. Each design is handcrafted in my studio. First a model is sculpted and hand cast in pewter. The various elements are soldered and finished to create a multi layered botanical or sea inspired piece. Semi precious stones,vintage glass, enamel work, and crystals are used to create unique and beautiful combinations of colors. Much attention is paid to detail, turn a piece over and perhaps you will find a bee, bird, flower, or shell. Many of the creations have a finishing touch of a pair of holding hands, a bird in a nest, or a mermaid wrapped around a coral vine as closures. All of these original features make my work distinguishable and are often considered timeless and collectible by many.
