I draw inspiration from natural environments to create jewelry. Each piece is inspired by a particular environment, often a region of the ocean, and I use the colors, forms, and features of that environment. This imagery is translated through the process of making which may include hammer forming, enameling, patination and the use of textile techniques in metal. I incorporate a loose narrative that ties the jewelry together as a body of work and connects it to the environments that inspired it. The resulting wearables draw viewers into a greater appreciation for the beauty and wonder of the ocean.
