Profile Information

Location:
Wisconsin
About Me:
I am particularly drawn to creating pattern and texture in my jewelry. Through pattern and texture, my designs take on movement, visual and tactile interest. Through the use of color and form, I communicate emotion and energy. Many of my pieces range from simplistic shapes and lines, evoking a sense of calm; to heavily textured with bold colors and lines, suggesting passion.

My obsession with circles, spheres, disks, and symmetry is expressed throughout many of my designs.

I am a constantly learning new techniques, as well as perfecting traditional methods of metalworking.

Additionally, I'm a full-time student, wife, and mother of two boys. I enjoy listening to music of all types, especially industrial, techno, and even a little classical. I'm a self-diagnosed coffee and cheese addict. :)

No Doubt, Moby, Suzanne Vega, and Ben Folds. I also enjoy the classics: Bach, Vivaldi, Mussorgsky, and Pachelbel.
