Statement

I make art for the body. I create sculptural jewelry and wearable forms. Jewelry can provide feelings of confidence and empowerment and I strive to make my pieces exude that feeling to the wearer both physically and emotionally.

I love the human body and I desire to adorn, cherish and celebrate it. My work is about discovering the balance between what jewelry physically provides us with and what it can make us feel. Jewelry has always provided me with a sense of protection and safety in the world. While it makes me feel safe, it makes me feel confident. I believe these feelings are linked and their connection can be found in jewelry. The weight of a heavy chain around my neck,  wearing chunky rings on all 10 fingers and having my arms filled with noisy bracelets, this is my armor. Jewelry provides me with confidence, it allows me to go into the world with an extra layer of protection. My jewelry desires to give you confidence, to give you that extra encouragement you need to be who you are in this world.
