My work is rooted in introspection. Through it I examine my own emotional states as I encounter the world. I often reflect on topics of grief, identity, judgement, influence and connection. However, my pieces are not regretful. They are meant to be a celebration of autonomy and of claiming authorship and agency over one’s own life story. After a number of years working in corporate America, raising two children, running a small business, and finally returning to art late in life, I have developed a unique worldview that I incorporate into my jewelry and sculpture.

A major focus of my current work is on material exploration. I am interested in finding materials and ways to manipulate and combine them that create context and join a conversation. I enjoy working intuitively, improvising and responding in dialogue with the materials. Working this way is a metaphor for life where the outcome of each choice we make determines the next step we take.
