Artist's Statement
My pieces celebrate and remember human lives. I create fictional stories about people: sad, happy, or obsessed. A life changes as time goes by, but jewelry marks events and emotions. My work makes stories about individuals so that others can glimpse experiences in hopes of establishing sympathy.
