Artist Statement:
I am a self-taught jewelry designer based in San Jose. My pieces use a wide range of materials, including beads, wire, vintage jewels, buttons, and keys. Much of the excitement of my work lies in transforming the old and discarded to create something new and original. A face from a broken watch, a button from a faded blouse, or
an unused pendant can gain new life as the focal point of a piece of jewelry. I do not limit myself to the old, however – I draw inspiration from a variety of modern sources as well, from popular culture to nature. I find that the style of old Hollywood and the passing of the seasons have a timeless quality. I build on these themes in my work in an effort to produce designs that are not only distinctive but versatile – designs that can be worn for casual, everyday style or for a special occasion.
