As a jewelry maker and photographer, I’m drawn to color,
texture, structure, and the play of light and shadow. I use metal in both
mediums – with jewelry that includes sterling and fine silver, gold-filled,
brass, and copper. I often print my
photography on aluminum, whereby the image interacts with light and the grain
of the metal to bring dynamic results. While my inspirations are many, nature is often the driving force, especially in photography. In jewelry, I explore a variety of techniques.
I fashion pierced cold connections – joining metal pieces with hammered
rivets. I embellish by adding texture, stamps and wire work, as well as semi-precious
stones, pearls, crystals, and glass. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with
applying patina to brass and copper by using the sun’s heat. In photography, I seek to capture images that
have depth, layers, and straddle media – such as the painterly within a
photography print. On any given day, the larger scape may be alluring; or, I
may focus on the smaller details as they are revealed. My journey of
discovery continues as I explore sections of the Maybrook
Trailway and upper Hudson Valley. |

During the ARTmostNY
tour I’ll have several
jewelry projects in motion over the weekend to demonstrate some of the
techniques, tools, and materials that I use in my designs. I'll also have
prints on display. Sparks of creativity usually fire freely and I’ll share some
of my muses and welcome questions. Prints, jewelry, and photo greeting cards
will be available for purchase. |
