Artist’s Statement

I have always been intrigued by contrasts and the tensions and relationships between them.   My work incorporates many different techniques, textures shapes, energies, and materials.  I feel it reflects my fascination with the interplay between elements that creates visual tension, feelings of imbalance and movement. Using different colored golds, silver, stones, and found objects, I try to create a harmony of disparate images. Some of my current work incorporates design elements as functional mechanisms integrating the work more directly with the wearer.
