“My work is an expression of the limitless opportunities of merging design, stunning gemstones created in nature, and metals worked and shaped by my hand. The work captures the energy and beauty of the materials, and is at once, both dynamic and harmonious.”

One-of-a-kind

Each piece of my work is individually hand fabricated and, as such, each piece is one of a kind. The work may be produced in a series that follows a design theme, yet every individual piece is unique to itself.

The Gems

I love and take inspiration from a wide variety of gemstones. Color is added with amethysts, sunstones, moonstones, citrines, peridot and a rainbow of colored stones. I particularly enjoy the effect of druzies.

The Metals

The metals in the compositions are sterling silver, fine silver, 22k, 18k, 14k, shikudo, shubuishi, and copper. In the creative process, I sketch design ideas, shape elements of the piece and select appropriate gemstones.
