Artist’s
Statement
My mission is to create uniquely designed and wearable jewelry art that showcases
the wearer’s unique spirit through color, form and texture. My chosen
medium, PMC™ (fine silver Precious Metal Clay™) along with traditional
silver smithing, allows me to fully explore endless possibilities. Each piece
evolves through the creative process; opening organically like a spring blossom
to fulfill its potential.
I believe art is compelled
to undergo a journey to unfold and realize its complete self. This potential
simply needs to be plucked from the ether and lovingly introduced to the world
of form.
I must work with my hands. Making something beautiful and enjoyable from nothing
brings me closer to the ultimate ‘Creator’ I believe exists in
all of us. Each one of us deserves to feel beautiful and special – for
we all are the greatest of creations.
