Artist's Statement
Growing up in New Mexico, surrounded by the natural elements and colors of the earth, I developed a fascination for stones, metals, and textures. As my appreciation for art and sculpture grew, so did my love of shapes, colors and the relationship between them. My creative outlet became jewelry.
Jewelry, it seems, is much more than just adornment. It represents many aspects of a culture, be it ancient or modern. But it is simultaneously a very personal expression of style, personality and mood. To this point, every piece that I have created is inspired by a culture, by artwork, or by the shape or color of the stones themselves.

My hope is that if you bond with a piece, it will become an active part of your collection as my intention is to create pieces that can be worn year after year and not fall prey to any trend of the day.
"Elements" Collection
This is a mixed-media collection using leather, wood and semi-precious stones to create a unique artistic statement. I examine the relationships between shapes, colors and textures to give each pendant its own unique personality. The necklace is strung with glass or metal beads and sheer ribbon.
"Mobile" Series Collection
Inspired by Alexander Calder, each Mobile Series necklace has a
free-swinging pendant with a playful balance of semi-precious stones. Each necklace is one-of-a-kind using materials that play well together.
