Unique Possibilities of Maine
I have had a love for creating with my hands
since I can remember. Introduced to working
in metal in a high school jewelry class, I
pursued that passion earning a Bachelor of
Fine Arts in sculpture from the Maryland
Institute, College of Art in Baltimore, MD. I
aspire to establish authenticity in my life and
my art and each of my creations embodies
this balance. Based on texture, form, and
beauty, I combine elements of sculpture with
the wearablilty and scale of jewelry. I watch
trends in lifestyle adapting them into realistic
and functional pieces of art that can be worn
easily and comfortably while above all,
remaining fun.
I hand select all materials used in my
designs from the best sources in the jewelry
industry ensuring pieces of quality,
workmanship and beauty. Stimulated by the
beauty and fragile environment of the
spectacular Maine coast, I bring the essence
of the natural world into my jewelry to
symbolize the tension between man and
nature, refinement and rawness, and the
formal with the informal. Designing and
creating exquisite jewelry that bonds these
relationships is important to me as an
affirmation and celebration of our own natural
beauty and grace.
