I was born and grew up in Southern California. After spending a number of years out-of-state, going to school and working, I again live and work in California. While in college, I studied fine art earning a Bachelor's Degree in Printmaking from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, and a Master's Degree in Sculpture from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. |

Then, meeting a talented jeweler introduced me to a discipline that would prove to be a perfect fit. As a sculptor, with an interest in design as well, I found jewelry to be a natural combination of the two. |

With each work, I set out to search for an intriguing combination of movement, shapes, and design. I frequently use gemstones with graphic shapes or specific color relationships to add to the narrative of a piece. In the course of making my work, I enjoy the challenge of designing linking elements so that they are an integral part of the whole. Metal forming, forging and articulation are other techniques I use which further contribute to the aesthetic and structural qualities of each piece. |
