Artist Statement

My new collection this year delves deeply into rich textures, oxidation, and patinas. But I continue my life long love affair with opals. Alternate materials and techniques like fusion, feathers, fossils and Fordite pepper the work. But my tradition of connecting a wearer with a story told in metal continues.
