I am a jewelry designer and metalsmith. I individually handcraft each piece in my Colorado studio.

My works are contemplations, entertaining the idea that objects can be both organic in form and relation as well as mechanical in a functional format: adornment.

These contemplations materialize as wearable jewelry with a sculptural presence. I strive to balance dichotomy: organic/mechanical, inherent/industrial, expected/unpredictable, variety/repetition, simple/complex. I create alliterations in metal that possess a rhythmic quality in form. I am influenced by the artwork of Joan Miro. Additionally, I find inspiration in the work of Alexander Calder, Pablo Picasso, and Fernand Leger.

I have been designing and creating cutting-edge jewelry since 1996. My studies began with mechanical engineering before realizing that my interest in "how things work" would be better satisfied in a more creatively aesthetic mode--jewelry design and metalsmithing. I enjoy the process of hand forging and fabrication and combine these processes with innovative practices.
