I believe that taking the road less travelled can lead to extraordinary places and exceptional discoveries.

I celebrate individuality in thoughts and expression, whether it's personal or artistic, knowing that sometimes that path can ultimately be quite challenging.  Yet,  I  believe the more obstacles along the path the more growth and insight we are able to achieve.  It is along "these roads", whether we were destined there or by choice, that we define the content of our character and our artistic personality.

My life and my art embody this quest.

I challenge myself to hunt for the most exceptional gemstones from nature.  Distinctive and occasionally rare, they are appreciated hopefully by a discerning eye and a love of the unusual.  The shape, quality of cut and their arrangement are all considerations that define my jewelry style.

My finished pieces process balanced patterns of color, tone and weight.   They are organic, reflective of nature, often goemetric and sometimes assymetrical ( my latest challenge).   They can be bold statements of expression or understatedly delicate.  Some are classic "with a twist".

However With You, the Wearer,  the aesthetics of my jewelry come to fruition.
