My jewelry work has a sculptural approach, inspired by traditional adornment and travels but also, it is the result of my love for history, craft, and world cultures. I am fascinated with the process of transforming metals, bronze in particular – a metal that is deeply connected with human history. All pieces, entirely hand cast and fabricated in my studio in the Bay Area, California, fuse ancient techniques with an industrial and urban vibe.
