I am a NYC based artist, art educator and jewelry designer. The industrial landscape inspires my artwork. My environment is at once tough, gritty and yet exquisite and vulnerable; I find that this disparity comes together in my art where I combine delicate elements with rough cut stones and textural patterns. I studied metals in NYC and later jewelry design in Florence Italy. My work is created by hand and I love the small subtle perfect imperfections that are pervasive in the handmade.
