Artist Statement
“I believe in jewelry that fascinates, annoys and tickles. I make jewelry that questions the values and status and show jewelry that attracts others to think. I wear jewelry that loads my batteries, and illustrates my thoughts, discuss jewelry that may seem strange to the viewer and sell jewelry stunned or strengthen people's feelings. I think of jewelry as miniatures of life's content and dream of jewelry that makes a hole in my wallet.” |
