My jewels are driven by a delight in the body-adorned, as well as a narrative implicit in each piece. It’s my intention that the jewels, intrinsically wearable art in precious metal, enamels, and gemstones, are made to be experienced, flaunted, displayed and to speak with my voice to those who will eventually wear them.
I collaborate with gemstones and vitreous enamels, and precious metals to generate the body of my work. All my jewels explore the fusion of these elements with the stories they relate, each object speaking as a collection of connected, coherent imagery.
Wearability is central but my goal is also transformation as the jewels become an outward expression of who we hope to become.
