My sense of form and composition is inspired by nature and geology, architecture and industrial space, ethnic, tribal and modern traditions. Exploring the properties and characteristics of materials and color has always been fascinating to me. I am currently working with copper, bronze, silver, concrete, stones, glass, and leather, as well as pigments and patinas.  This could change at any time. Each piece of jewelry that I produce will be unique.

Near the end of the recent recession, I was feeling creatively stifled in my career as an architect.  My children picked up on this and gave me the gift of a series of glass fusing classes at Stained Glass of Marin.  After three sessions I was hooked, and here I am, 6 years later, still continuing to play and experiment with the media.  Cutting, assembling, and fusing glass is great therapy, and I continue to feel inspired as I explore new techniques and approaches in my work.
