Nature distills the complex mechanisms of life into simple visual forms. I am moved by this simplicity.
I am captivated by the ways nature animates her designs; wind patterns water and sand, sunlight dapples leaves, swirls spiral shells, rhythmic patterns mark the bark of trees. So inspired, I try to infuse my designs with color, pattern, texture, light and movement. My tag line "Designs that Dance!" speaks to my love of movement.
To bring forth silver's many aspects, I use etching, hammering, oxidization, sculpting and chasing. I sometimes use pearls, shell, seeds, leather and wood. I only use stones occasionally, and never for ‘bling.’
