Subjects inherent to the contexts of personal and social identity have inspired diverse series as my work explores the distinctive voice of jewelry as a cultural artifact understood in the psychological and social context of the body/wearer.

Using the social codes and private/public locations of jewelry as a platform, I invite a broad audience to a conversation grounded in empathy.

Does the wearer complete the jewelry or does the jewelry complete the wearer? I suggest it is reciprocal - changed by each other they venture out into the world, to start a conversation.
