My work is unique in that it is considered “art-to-wear". My pieces create a “statement“. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind that often takes months to complete. I am inspired by simple objects of nature, semi-precious stones, pearls, rare antiques, and the challenge of creating something unexpected from the most simple of elements.
The necklace on my home page was selected in a international juried competition and was featured in the book: Bedazzaled: Where Beads and Inspiration Meet. www.beadazzled.net/new.html
