My jewelry evokes nature's bounty ... wild grapes bursting on the vine, fall leaves blowing in the breeze or acorns scattered on the woodland floor. Using polymer as my medium, I create large, luscious necklaces of intricate compositions which blend playfulness with femininity. Ever attentive to balancing art-to-wear with practicality, I veneer large beads which are either hollow formed or have an aluminum core so they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. Patterns add interest and texture to a subtly blended ground. The overall effect is clean, modern and warm.
