Artist Statement:

Searching for unique & unusual stones and beads is a quest I dearly love. My travels always include visits to the local bead and gem shops to find semi precious stones and beads to bring back to my studio to create wearable art.

In creating my jewelry, I try to find just the right touch to come together in a complimentary blend of semi precious stones, metal and beadwork. The color scheme of my work is an expression of my individual style. Using several shades of a monochromatic hue seems to make the beads have a blended look and feel to create a flowing necklace or bracelet.

Each creation sends its own message to the buyer. To personalize the buyer’s purchase, I encourage each buyer to research their stones, crystals or beads and their significance or powers.
