Artists Statement:
Gold, silver, brass, semi-precious stones, fossils, and found objects are
combined into metaphors for the Journey of life. Inspired by ancient
civilizations, the goddess, mythic creatures, enigmatic codes, and
symbolic languages, I create touchstones from the past to intrigue and
guide us to our futures. Ancient memories become wearable fine art,
giving direction and focus on our Personal Journeys.
Wear some magic!
