About Our Art
I am honored to have customers from across the country who continue to support my jewelry. I consider my jewelry wearable art. My jewelry is composed of vibrant colored natural stones, complimented by natural fibers and metals. I love using stones, because they remind me of the South American landscape of my childhood.
I started designing jewelery as a teenager. I began by creating jewelry pieces for my own use. I made jewelry using small stones and fishing line. Today, the simple jewelry designs from my youth have evolved into my one-of-a-kind jewelry. My designs are composed of more complex techniques, such as; wire-wrapping, sliver clay and macrame but stark designs from my youth can be seen in my ever evolving creations. My biggest challenge is to create jewelry that expresses my love of hand crafted natural materials.
