I create storiesin my work by combining distinct styles and symbols. I create organic shapesinspired by nature and mix them with simple and graphic lines. I love to mixpearls and soft colors with the roughness of gunmetal and oxidized silver. Iborrow design inspiration from both ancient and contemporary jewelry. Whenthese disparate styles come together in my pieces, they tell little stories by drawingconnections between seemingly disparate ideas. The most important part of thestory comes when my pieces are worn. Each woman adds her own meaning to myjewelry, giving more depth and significance to my work. I love when my piecesare worn because it continues the process of combination, mixing my narrativeswith those of the wearer.
