THE
ARTIST
My fascination for jewelry began at the age of three, when I
would spend hours rummaging through my grandmas jewelry boxes.
I was
intrigued by their contents, their history, and what they meant
to my grandma. Jewelry for me represents and holds these qualities,
and memories intact. The richness of Scripture along with intricate
patterns; shape and colour are the source of my inspiration.
It
is important to me that my pieces are wearable, and my hope is
that the people who wear the piece, will be inspired by the
Word
of God, that they will find comfort, strength and the truth that
Scripture carries.
