Statement
My creative work begins as a form of spiritual meditation—an inner dialogue that becomes visible through metal, pigment, and form. As a Connecticut-based artist, I explore the intersection of memory, material, and meaning through both sterling silver jewelry and expressive paintings. Each piece reflects a process of transformation—of raw materials, personal experience, and the unseen energy that connects us all.
Guided by intuition and inspired by nature, sacred symbols, and everyday resilience, I create with the belief that art is a portal—inviting reflection, healing, and a deeper connection to the present moment. I value the tactile and intentional process of handcrafting, where each mark or form carries a quiet, powerful presence.
In a fast-moving world, my work is an offering: a chance to pause, feel, and remember the beauty and spirit within and around us.
