some in progress pieces I am creating for an upcoming show in Winston-Salem, NC called Create:Adorn. Excited to repurpose these cast brass pieces that I acquired at a flea market in Paris last November.

- Emotions and memories inspire my work as an artist. My most recent pieces are about conflicting feelings. I’ve found that in the cycle of life, there are both positives and negatives, such as pleasure and pain, loss and gain. I fabricate gold, silver, copper, brass and wood to create jewelry and sculptures about this cycle. I further embellish each piece with enamel, gemstones, pearls and found objects. These elements bring beauty and decoration to my jewelry, which suggests happiness. Rough textures and sharp edges are sometimes added to convey conflicting emotions.
