Artist Statement
"My interest in design is reflective of the extremes that make up my visual landscape. I am especially interested in the relationship between natural landscapes and urban environments. In my work, this is reflected by stylizations of organic motifs as they relate to abstract shapes and clean lines. The contrast between the emotional starkness of an empty city block and the lush undergrowth of forest emerges as unexpected patterns, one sometimes appearing (metaphorically) from the shadows of another design. In the process of creating jewelry, I am finding the connection and harmony
between the elements that influence my perceptions. I want my jewelry to reflect an intuitive design sensibility, and to create pieces that can be worn as an extension or expression of individuality. I am looking to balance two distinct sides of personal adornment; dress up that is socially inspired, for public display, and ornamentation that is a deeply personal signature of style, something worn simply for oneself. My goal is to continue to evolve artistically, and to express in my work values that inspire me while developing a successful business that integrates and nurtures these aspects."
