Artist's Statement

"I design and make jewelry that is a blend of the modern and traditional. My inspiration is drawn from nature, which I enjoy putting on a personal level. I find that designing jewelry is not only a wonderful way to use all of my skills, but also a great way to express my thoughts.

"The incorporation of natural elements into my pieces was first inspired by Rene Lalique's work. Since I find it almost impossible to improve on nature, I decided to have real branches and leaves cast in 18kt gold and sterling, once it is in metal I can then fabricate it into the shape and form I'm looking for. Then my challenge is to put them together to form a piece that is not only beautiful, but wearable."
