Artist Statement

As an artist, I soon discovered my
passion of working with natural media such as
metal and wood. I believe that working with wood and metal allows me to
experiment
in the process of integrating or fusing these two fine materials together. Very
often,
the wood inspires me as to what shape the metal component should be formed.
I also strive to create symmetry with the fused wood and metal, focusing on any
subtleties of the wood such as color, grain, shape.
Working with basic hand tools allows me to create a design as I progress, the
design
evolves as I shape the wood and metal. I discover the subtle nuances and
patterns in
the
wood piece and begin to imagine how the piece of jewelry will come to life.
Hand
tools
allow me to shape the wood and metal to complement each other.
My pieces of jewelry are unique from one another since the woods I select vary
in grain patterns, therefore each piece can be considered one of a kind. I
now enjoy
creating both mens and womans jewelry with a flair for design.
