I create both statement jewelry/wearable sculpture and easily worn, everyday pieces that are nonetheless unique and interesting. This work is born of my sculptural practice and the concepts that drive it—concepts that ask us to question standard notions of beauty. I aim to bring joy and inspiration to the wearer who wishes to express their personal creativity. 

Process follows concept: Stoic form is forced into undulation under pressure, malleable clay is cinched to the breaking point, slick epoxy fills cavities and brims over, metal becomes velvet through texture and color.
