Artist Statement:
I learned about art through
music but my childhood
interests were limited to
music—piano, pipe organ,
French horn and some
dance—enhanced by summers
spent at Blue Lake Fine Arts
Camp in Whitehall, Mich. My
family is artistic, but I
struggled to visually express
myself and eventually gave up
until my post-college years. I
did, however, continue
studying Salvador Dali and
Pablo Picasso, and later Jean
Michel Basquiat, Joyce Scott,
Susan Green and Madeleine
Ricks. Their work might not be
understood by the masses, but
admirers feel the spirit that
exists within each piece that
transcends the dimensions of
time and space. I seek to do
the same.
My jewelry is based on mood
and instinct. I do not use
patterns, sketches or
photographs. I simply let my
beads speak to me. Each piece
is created on a whim and I
never know what a piece is
going to look like until I've
completed it. I am most moved
by earth colors, textures and
shapes, and Naga and Huchol
themes....
