I am investigating familial/generational relationships between objects. As one object begets another, they multiply and change. The object evolves but maintains traces of its predecessors. “Second Generation S-1”, cast in Sterling Silver, is the descendant of a raised, Copper vessel.

Bio
I fell in love with metalsmithing after working for more than two decades as an architectural designer. I consider my practice a form of nurturing, in which I draw upon the patience and devotion honed while raising children. My work is inspired by relationships, rituals and objects that promote and celebrate human connection.
