Artist Statement: A glimpse into my artistic process is a hard one. Sometimes I have to sit with a bunch of materials in front of me for hours before it becomes a piece of jewelry. I work mostly with sterling silver, semi-precious stones, leather, vintage buttons and silk. I use only 100% natural surf tumbled sea glass, handpicked by family, friends or myself. I enjoy wire wrapping, making bezels, and using up-cycled silk from sari dress factories in India to make bracelets. I also take custom orders, repurpose old favorites and broken jewelry. Many of my creations are one of a kind pieces and every piece of jewelry is made with good energy and happiness.
