As a metals artist, I love the challenge of translating vision into substance; of using technical skill and beautiful materials to form a tangible object. I have always felt that even everyday objects can be crafted with both beauty and function. I love creating things that people feel beautiful wearing. To me, the wearer becomes a part of the art, which is as unique as the person herself.
I find inspiration comes from everywhere. I live in the mountains in Northern California, surrounded by wildlife and forest. I visualize simple and sleek shapes that reflect my natural environment as well as man’s technical achievements. I like to combine materials in unusual and exciting ways.
