Handmade Jewelry
The artworks in my jewelry depict figures in hues that seem once vivid, and are now faded. I want to transport viewers into a dream-like world where the mythical characters tell ancient tales of enchantment. Perspective and composition evoke Medieval and Renaissance icons. The artworks are created in a wide variety of media; pencil, oil, acrylic, and digital collage.
I am an award-winning designer, illustrator and jewelrymaker. I attended the Savannah College of Art & Design in Georgia on a fine arts scholarship. I have widely exhibited and sold my artworks and jewelry in boutiques, galleries and art shows in the midwest and southeast over the last 20 years. For more information about my handmade jewelry, please visit my etsy store.
