How does a therapist become a jeweler? Surprisingly, there really is a close link between the two arts. A therapist hopes to shed light on the inner world of each client. Jewelry, as well, acts as an agent of personality and soul. It has the power to communicate the emotion and inner story of the wearer. Each of us also has a unique psychological response to the color and symbolism of precious stones.

Jewelry making represents the spirited, poetic, and imaginative side of me. It has been the one constant throughout my adult life, following a childhood filled with creating. With an eye for fresh color combinations and inventive symmetry, I love making art out of natural gemstones.

My design inspiration comes from the endless variety of the natural world – leaves, flowers, birds, sky. I am also influenced by my international upbringing, travel, architecture, and furniture design.
