What I love most about jewelry is its ability to contain and spur memories. I love to make lockets and other memento jewelry, so much so that this was the subject of my dissertation and focus of my work at the RCA.

Nature is also an ideal muse, always different, always inspiring. Trees have played a recurring role in my work from the very beginning, even though I wasn’t always conscious of this fact! I also love to work with color, so enameling is one of my favorite techniques. All of the jewelry is hand fabricated by me, using a wide variety of gold and silversmithing techniques.
