Artist Statement
As an artist I look around at nature for my inspiration. I believe, true art was created when God Spoke this world into being. We as artists take what already is, and mold it into an expression of what our soul has to say about it. In the creation of my jewelry I love to use the elegant beauty of a pearl that is from the water and combine it with the raw essence of leather from the land. The combination forms a completeness and balance. In creating each piece of jewelry I choose high quality pearls, and I must drill each one to fit the 2mm leather that I use. Each piece of leather is hand conditioned before being used. Some designs have a lighter feel where the pearls are secured in positions upon the leather, and some designs have a more earthy feel where I use different knotting techniques. I am known for the quality of my work and the uniqueness of my designs.
