If you've seen the pictures of my jewelry on my website, then you know that I like big jewelry, unusual stones, pearls and beads. I am a big person myself and can wear it, even though I have never liked wearing jewelry myself. However, my best customers have been petite women! I think it's just one's feeling about oneself -- a sense of fearlessness or a willingness to be seen.
I am often asked to say what my inspiration is. I wish I could respond by pointing to nature or history or a particular color, but the only answer is that I take inspiration from the unusual nature of the materials I purchase. When stones or pearls catch my eye because of their sparkle, sheen, shape or surface texture, they create a sense of excitement in me and a feeling of potential to make a really smashing piece of jewelry.
I rarely know how a piece will turn out, I just go with the process and see what happens. I confess I regret when a piece of jewelry doesn't make me cheer when I'm finished with it, since I try to operate at 100%, 100% of the time in my life. But when in life does that ever happen? Neither does it happen in my art all the time – but when it does you’ll see it on my website!
