Artist Statement on Material & Technique: "I create my jewelry using my own developed weaving techniques. I construct, layer & inter-connect glass & semi-precious elements into very wearable & durable 3-dimensional necklaces, bracelets & earrings. My original designs & colors are inspired by my fine arts background. Each finished piece of jewelry is handmade solely by me, and I strive to create precise & interesting compositions of harmonious colors, shapes & textures. A single necklace may be composed of up to 2000 individual elements!"
