COOLiViNGEver since I can remember, I have been drawn to and inspired by found objects. I have always felt the need to re-invent them beyond their original intent. To day my jewelry and art reflects this through the use of recycled materials such as antique typewriter parts and rusted steel, copper with years of patina on its surface, and beach stones that have been wave polished through time and old vintage jewelry. Mixing these items with contrasting materials such as sterling silver and gold creates harmony and balance. Transforming vintage scarves and wool into contemporary pillows, creating beautiful purses and hand bags out of old and discarded leather coats. This art reflects my passion for contrast, parallel meanings, movement and balance, as well as conscience design and minimal environmental impact.
