Artists Statement

It's all about DESIGN. Good design, in good taste. It is a pleasure in every aspect of our lives and deeply satisfying. I am inspired both from the new and latest fashion trends in clothes, interior design, food, wine and music. I have gone to the most unique places to find the best jewelry elements each country has to offer, from exclusive Manhattan manufacturers to tiny off the beaten path Parisian stores toThailand, Africa and Southeast Asia. I always attend the Tucson International Mineral & Gem Show, where designers and makers from around the world annually converge to offer their latest in gems, beads and jewelry findings. I use my own hand made glass beads, semi-precious stones, pearls, silver and gold in my designs. Every detail must be beautiful, unusual, and of excellent quality, right down to the clasp on a necklace, not just the centerpiece gem. Put together, I create jewelry that is the epitome of Edgy , Modern, Classic. It looks good and has timeless integrity.
