I have been working in the field of Jewelry and Polymer Clay for a short time, so my capabilities are still in the development stages, however my excitement for the medium is vast. The techniques I’m learning are intricate, with numerous steps involved for the final outcome.
My formal education is in sculpture from Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, so my approach to jewelry is bound to my form vocabulary. As a result, the work I produce gravitates towards three dimensions, is inspired by natural structures and what man has made.
I am currently exploring and embracing the new tools available to todays artists, 3D printing and the use of modeling software. I believe these tools to be valid in the creation and production process.
