It all begins with the materials.
When up close and personal with a glistening lead crystal bead, everything else falls away. The bead gleams and sparkles and makes promises.
To me, a spill of antique hand-cut French seed beads is thrilling. Sweet Japanese beads from the 1950s make my heart beat faster.
I’ll fall in love with a chunk of amethyst, a handsome cabochon of marble, a sliver of deeply glowing labradorite. Sterling silver complements the natural depth and promise of the stones.
It’s the bead and the stone that start me on my creative journey. My work is almost entirely materials-led. I don’t plan a piece of jewelry, it just grows under my hand. A stone calls out to the metal and calls out to the bead.
I am attached to the pieces I make. Every pendant is my child, every necklace a part of the great flow of creativity in which we all participate.
