"My exploration in the process of jewelry making is with a deep respect for the innate properties of the material. The noble metals and gemstones display strong qualities of order and structure within their internal network. I work with a focused attention for the craft, which is a visible dialogue within the jewelry. I like to think of my designs as evolving from an emotional state to an æsthetic experience and back again."
Romanticism is a powerful influence. The interaction of dark and light metals mixed with fine gold and diamonds combine to evoke a strong sense of mystery and a sublime nature. The diamonds are bead set upside-down onto the surface in paveĢ or scattered across the piece. This reverse setting effectively captures and reflects light in a succession of broad flashes from the oblique angles creating a feeling of twilight. Visually, the effect is similar to the display of a gathering storm in the night sky. Or one can be reminded of the low angled light as it is cast across the vista into the gazing eye.
