I think of my work as abstract expressionism for jewelry. Influenced by the American modern painting movement and the powerful 2-D images of graphic design in our culture, I am inspired to create jewelry reflecting these impressions on me. My concepts of jewelry as art do not limit the means of wearability, rather, allow us to wear jewelry reflecting our passion for modern art. I'm interested in organic and urban senses meshing with our love of color and the sense of balance we carry in our lives.
