“Storytelling and my use of imagination are huge aspects of my work. Using selected found objects, I engage in play to create my pieces in sculptural ways. By making jewelry with selected found objects, I question why people abandon what is meaningful to them. And by giving these objects unique voices, they communicate with people beyond their physical form. My artistic process creates jewelry that evokes a sense of playfulness, joy, and imagination. I give each found object individual characteristics leading to a new life in the form of jewelry.”
