My background in monotype printmaking and mixed media collage hugely informs my jewelry practice. Each jewelry piece begins with an unplanned, freeform drawing. So much of the work of a jewelry artist requires detailed planning and attention to minute detail and I need the freeing element of my experimental drawing practice to balance that. ...

When I’m out on a hike, always with my camera, what compels me to photograph a composition, is balance. An easily recognized interplay of contrasts, of shapes, textures and tones. A scene ready for recording with my camera has achieved a sense of balance that keeps the viewer’s eye squarely within the frame of the finished piece.

I just enjoy the beauty of the outdoors very much, and recording it in an artful and creative way brings me great pleasure. The challenge to try to do something different, within the frame work of solid compositional principles, is what I also enjoy in the process of creating this work. ...
