The decision to make jewelry stems from an interest in creating intimate objects to be placed in the personal space. Inspiration comes from observation of natural forms in all stages of beginning, growth, and decay. Traditional Japanese design motifs are an intuitive connection between nature and my cultural heritage. I am also interested in creating objects that celebrate and commemorate family or personal mythologies in my life. Through intimate scale, I hope to invite the viewer to further introspection.
