When I create jewelry it allows my creative juices to flow resulting in new and inventive expressions of my inner feelings and moods. My designs are simplistic, fresh, timeless and functional in nature with crisp, clean lines in both traditional and modern design, often with dangles that allow flowing movement to the piece. I like the feel of metal and its ability to be molded into a art form that is a lasting expression of my creativity. I enjoy designing one of a kind items which I add to my personal line of jewelry.
