ARTIST STATEMENT

I was born in France and now reside in the US for more than 40 years. My connections with crafts people in my travels and a strong desire to create lead me to explore different art forms. After working with ceramic and fibers, I became fascinated with the creative transformation of the raw metal into a unique wearable piece of art.

All handcrafted in my studio in Oregon, the material I use is primarily silver with gold accents, precious and semi precious stones. I use traditional techniques of fabrication including forging, casting, fusing and texturing. With contrast in color and texture, my work translates a perceived image and movement into minimal bold forms, accentuated with sparkles of stones. My aim is to offer comfortable, artistic jewelry that will become a special and unique piece for you to cherish and wear with confidence.

You can find my jewelry in my Etsy shop,
RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Or.
Valley Art Gallery in Forest grove, Or.
