the Artists gallery

    The inspiration for my designs comes from a fascination with and detailed observation of the shapes, patterns and gestures of all living creatures and vegetation. I revel in capturing the tilt of a mermaid’s head as she turns her face to the sun or the twisting character of a grape vine tendril.

    Fossils , sea glass, beach stones are as valuable a source of color and expression in the pieces as are amethyst, lapis lazuli, turquoise, ruby, sapphire and all the other traditional precious rocks and minerals.

    All my designs are fabricated in my studio . I prefer to work with silver and gold. Any design can be created in 18 Kt , 14 Kt, Sterling silver or the newest material - Argentium sterling silver which is a new easy care, tarnish-resistant silver.
