“Always remember that the reason that you initially started working was that there was something inside yourself that you felt that if you could manifest it some way you would understand more about yourself and how you coexist with the rest of society.”
David Bowie
This statement is the foundation of why I am an artist. As a young child I knew that making things for others was an invitation for them to see me through an interior lens and was a way to say something I couldn’t articulate with language. Jewelry and adornment is personal. Handmade for the recipient, it is an expression of love in the form of a gift.
My Fall 2024 collection builds on themes of past seasons; nature, primitive and modern forms and an unusual juxtaposition of materials. It is about relationships, poetry and storytelling with objects. My work has always been a convergence of past and present design influences from around the world. I design for myself not for a mass audience. Hopefully my collection expresses something that is relatable and enhances your sense of style and originality.
