WEARABLE SCULPTURE: Bring a little art with you everywhere you go!
I've been making jewelry for as long as I can remember. My aunt, a polymer clay artist, gave me my first beading box filled with her handmade beads. My collection of beads has grown from this one box to a whole studio filled with beads from around the world. Jewelry was always a hobby. It was only after graduating from Alfred University with a sculpture degree, that I began to take jewelry making a bit more seriously. I began viewing my jewelry not just as earrings or necklaces, but as mini wearable sculptures. I use not only beads, but other objects I would normally use in my fine art making practice. This brings artwork out of the gallery and into everyday places!
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. All of my jewelry is hand made by me with high quality materials like sterling silver, 14k gold plated sterling silver, semi-precious gemstones, and hand carved wood. If you have any questions about my work, please email me. I'm never too busy to write back.
