"For
me, designing a collection of jewelry is highly personal.
It begins with an idea and evolves into objects of adornment."
"Making
the transition from concept to process involves working with my model
maker to refine details before fabrication."
"Beading is a skill that demands patience and a good eye for
color and shape.
I search for interesting bead materials from
many sources, ever aiming for the unusual."
"The
finishing touches: hand polishing, the application of patina and the
setting of stones are representative of the care we take in creating
each object of adornment."
