ARTIST'S STATEMENT: My goal is to harmonize color, texture, gold, and stones into jewelry that begs to be worn and enjoyed. I start by making individual elements, cutting them up, embellishing them, and then rearranging them  all into different patterns and shapes. When I trust my intuition and experience, the materials speak to me and guide me to something unexpected. There's such joy in finding beautiful materials to work with, and then letting myself be as loose and free with them as possible, as if I'm painting with fire, stones, and gold.
