My goal as a jeweler is to create sculpture that enhances the human form while on the body and works independently as small sculpture when off the body. I work with resin and a variety of materials, precious and common, to create unexpected inlays that compliment my bold sterling silver designs. After each piece is etched, a silver rim frames the design. Layers of resin, pigments or gold leaf create rich textural inlays behind the images. Each piece is hand fabricated incorporating up to seven layers of resin creating three dimensional shadow box effects. The result is a very lightweight sculptural jewelry combining modern graphics with luminous backgrounds.
