: :  Artist Statement  : :

I have always been intrigued by contrasts and the tensions and

relationships between them.

My work incorporates many different techniques, textures shapes,

energies and materials.  I feel it reflects my fascination with the

interplay between elements that creates visual tension, feelings of

imbalance and movement.

Using different colored golds, silver, stones and found objects, I try to

create a harmony of disparate images.

Some of my current work incorporates design elements as functional

mechanisms integrating the work more directly with the wearer.
