Artist Statement:
As far back as I can
remember I was making my own
creations from disassembled
jewelry and fishing swivels.
When I was 14, I took my first
metal-smithing class and with
one ignition of a blowtorch I
had found my path in life. I
went on to graduate from the
Fashion Institute of
Technology in New York City
with a degree in jewelry and
gems. Realizing there weren't
many jewelers working with
enamel, I decided to learn the
ancient Byzantine technique of
cloisonné enameling. One of
the first designs I created as
a self-taught enamelist was
the Evil Eye, which became one
of my signature pieces twenty
years ago. Since then my
design has been imitated by
other enamelists who recognize
the vitality and appeal of
this timeless talisman.
My work is a fusion of
powdered glass and precious
metal into miniature paintings
that bring bold accents of
color to the human canvas on
which they are worn.
I design and fabricate all my
jewelry from my home studio in
Western Colorado. To maintain
the integrity of my work, I am
the sole creator of each piece
from start to finish. ...
