Fine Craft Shows at Chautauqua July 12–14 & August 9–11, 2024
I like the idea of craftsmanship that has been a part of every culture. Jewelry, as personal adornment, is as old as mankind. As with all things, I draw from the past but work very much in the present offering an elegant, fun, bold, contemporary look. I work primarily in sterling silver. Each piece is hand fabricated and one of a kind. Techniques used are fold forming, air chasing and forging. Typical enhancements include gemstones, minerals and/or pearls. Patina is applied to enhance the sculptural aspect of each piece. My work is an essential part of who I am. It satisfied a needed realization of expression .
