Fine Craft and Art Shows at Chautauqua July 11–13 & August 8 –10, 2025
I create jewelry that transforms timeless symbols into wearable art, celebrating connection, resilience, and inner strength. My pieces are crafted from recycled sterling silver, brass, gold, and ethically sourced stones. Combining traditional techniques like fabrication, keum boo, and hydraulic forming, I strive to create jewelry that serves as visual and tangible reminders of the best gifts in life. My designs draw from historical art and cultural motifs to explore universal virtues such as love, acceptance and peace. Each piece tells a story, offering wearers a way to connect with these enduring themes in a personal and meaningful way. I see jewelry a reflection of identity, belief, and shared experiences as well as adornment. Sustainability is important to my process. By using recycled metals and responsibly sourced stones, I create jewelry that is both beautiful and ethical. My work bridges tradition and innovation, creating pieces that feel timeless yet uniquely contemporary
