My jewelry designs are inspired by architecture, geometry, and unusual material combinations I hand-fabricate each piece using cutting, forming, forging, soldering, fusing, folding, weaving, and oxidizing with patinas to create contemporary designs. While primarily working in sterling silver, I often incorporate rubber, stainless steel and other accenting metals into my designs.
Some of my newer designs are folded using fine silver sheet, others are cut sterling tubes that I weave with stainless steel cord, creating 3 dimensional shapes without the use of solder.
A newer collection is inspired by the ocean, using genuine sea-glass and the occasional shells in modern sterling silver designs.
My goal is to create minimal, timeless pieces that can be worn every day and for special occasions alike.
