Jury - 2023 CHESTER COUNTY STUDIO TOUR

I am a jewelry designer and teaching artist working primarily with silver and semi-precious gemstones. My pieces are hand fabricated and built from flat sheets of silver and wire. With love of stones and texture, I build sketches around the chosen gemstones and embellishments. I make my own embellishments using precious metal clay fired in a kiln or by casting to recycle my silver scraps. In this way, the stones dictate the character of the piece and each piece is as individual as the wearer.
