About
I have been making jewelry for about 15 years. Largely self taught, my work has been an exploration of the organic world around me. I love fluid lines and tiny details. I try to make every aspect of each of my pieces, from the layered pendants to the chain I make by hand, link by link.
Each piece is a labor of love that often times takes months to fully come to the finished design finally presented to the world. I never know when something will be finished until I am at my bench and it finally comes together in front of me.
My metal clay designs have appeared multiple times in the PMC Guild Annual and The Art of Metal Clay Calendar. My work has also been modeled by Alison Starling on the ABC Morning News in Washington, D.C. as well as Molette Green on WJLA Morning News in Rosslyn, VA.
In 2011, I co-curated a two part online exhibition titled "New Directions: Powder Metallurgy (Metal Clay) in a Sheet Metal World" on Crafthaus. I also co-created a catalog to benefit CERF+ based on the online exhibitions. In 2012, I helped jury and produce Holly Gage's annual The Art of Metal Clay and More Calendar.
