Artist Statement

I design and create contemporary modernist jewelry using nontraditional materials such as plexiglass (also known as plastic, acrylic, lucite), rubber and aluminum. Bold designs, abstract geometric shapes and bright colors are my signature. As a child of the 1960's, Twiggy, Midcentury Modern and Op Art influenced my aesthetic. Abstract artists Mondrian and Kandinsky provide inspiration. I feel that jewelry is art and should reflect the personality of the wearer. My jewelry is not for the timid. My pieces are designed for individualists who want to make a statement.
