My work is driven by a deep fascination with the natural world and its infinite textures, colors, and layers. I draw inspiration from both precious and non-precious stones, metals, and organic materials, creating pieces that invite contemplation and connection. Each creation is a blend of semi-precious and non-semi-precious stones, carved bone, and various precious and nonprecious metals, which together evoke a sense of mystery, joy, and peace. I aspire to challenge the boundaries of what wearable art can represent.

​

My artistic journey is influenced by the works of Charles Lewton-Brain, Thomas Mann, Mary Lou Hu, Helen Driggs, Robert Dancik, and many others. I strive to bring a fresh perspective to my creations while honoring the diverse artistic traditions that have come before me. The interplay between contrasting elements—soft vs. hard, textured vs. smooth. Color vs. black & white—reflects the complexity and beauty I see in the world around us.

​

The process of creation for me is a dialogue between spontaneity and careful planning. I am inspired by my imagination and the materials I work with, allowing each piece to evolve organically. I aim to translate these inspirations into visual narratives that resonate universally, inviting viewers to explore the layers of meaning within each piece.

​

Through my art, I celebrate life and express a deep love for the natural world. I hope my work sparks curiosity, elicits emotion, and serves as a catalyst for personal reflection, encouraging a dialogue that goes beyond the visual and enters the realm of introspection.

​

Thank you for joining me on this creative journey.
