Welcome!

My designs have resulted from a desire to bring more beauty to everyday life, to inspire good feelings, to increase self-awareness and to share my own creative joy.

A constant feature of my art is the loving effort invested in each piece. I believe in artists’ ability to express themselves through form and color. The lasting symbols - love, faith, sincerity, purity, hope, renewal, good luck - are always present in my work.

My preference for stones and beads brought about a unique style of jewelry, perfected by using a meticulous technique of assemblage.

Nature is a source of inspiration and my creativity allows materials to express their own beauty. I like to use semiprecious stones, genuine pearls, shells and many tiny beads in my pieces. I am trying to achieve a natural, shaded look, by incorporating several nuances of beads for each color I choose. I also use gemstones for their enchanting features.
