A Triple Necklace of Watermelon Druzy Quartz and Pearls
I approach the design of jewelry the same way I approach the creation of a painting. A woman's neck is the canvas, the stones are the creative materials used to enhance the canvas. Composition of the total piece is a critical part of the design, taking into consideration color, line, shape, and texture as I would in a painting. Shine, matt finish and luminosity of the stones influence the final design. All of these elements must work and flow together to present a visual that is unique and pleasing as well as comfortable and easy to wear.
Nature is my muse. Because I prefer natural materials, the stones I use are formed by the earth, water, and creatures that inhabit our planet. The shapes and colors are irresistible. From around the world, I collect unique and unusual stones and beads which may be carved, faceted, polished smooth, or left in the original state. Occasionally I include a found object or beautifully crafted item to punctuate the design.

Options are important to me, so I create necklaces that can be worn long, doubled or tripled into a shorter version. Layering is also a feature of my designs. I advocate wearing multiple necklaces and bracelets that harmonize and play with and against each other.
