Jewelry can be something more than ornament. It can be a powerful talisman, a token of sentiment, or a symbol of love. It can inspire, comfort, or hold a special memory. Initially, one may see the beauty of a gemstone or an elegant compostition, but the true value of a piece of jewelry is the secret it keeps, the special relationship between the jewel and the wearer.

| Since I was a child I collected the seashells and stones that I now incorporate into my jewelry. I take objects that are not thought of as valuable and by treating them as precious reveal their natural beauty.

I was accepted to Rhode Island School of Design and studied Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design. I graduated with a BFA in 1997.

| Every peice of jewelry I create is unique. Initially, one may see the beauty of a stone or an elegant composition, but the true value of a piece of jewelry is the special meaning it keeps for the wearer.
