The pieces in this collection are one of a kind and handmade. I use many of the old industrial techniques invented in Providence Rhode Island, the city where I live, once known as the costume jewelry capital of the world. After graduating from the Rhode Island school of Design I began my career as a jewelry designer for manufacturers that opened in the 1930’s and 40’s, an environment from which I learned many of the old and lost techniques from some of the industry's original innovators. In recent years I've used these techniques to explore more fine art and sculptural expressions. I've also been exploring two dimensional works on paper but don't worry, long time fans of my jewelry, I'll still be making that too.
