Artist Statement
Jewelry should be FUN and can function as WEARABLE ART. I am constantly transforming objects and materials that would normally be thought of as waste into wearable art through repurposing and upcycling. By utilizing color, movement, and tactile qualities, I am encouraging a playful interaction between the wearer/viewer and the artwork. It is my goal to create thought provoking wearable art that challenges and reconfigures viewer stereotypes of material usage, value, and importance.
