I have always been fascinated by nature and how people relate to it. I get a lot of my ideas from reading the myths and fables of ancient cultures. The way these societies explained how phenomena occurred, and the rituals to deal with the unexpected intrigues me and sets my mind wandering.
I started making jewelry after untangling my friends' necklace chains for the umpteenth time and thinking "I could make something pretty with these!" I could never find much jewelry that I felt expressed *ME*. It was mostly mass-made, cheap junk that wasn't finished with care and often left my skin funky colours. I knew that I could bring my borderline ADD/OCD to the bench and obsess on ways to make fun and/or elegant, wearable art.
As a child, I loved to read the "Encyclopedia Britannica" and follow the threads wherever they led. This often caused me to stay up well past my bed time. As an "adult", I still find I have the same problem and will read anything I can and stay up way too late.
I am now moving in a new direction with my work and find the process challenging and very exciting. I hope you will too.
