In early 2007 I ventured beyond the realm of painting to make jewelry for myself. A casual hobby soon morphed into a serious study. Making jewelry is now just as exciting to me as painting always has been. Jewelry has the advantage over painting if only because it is intrinsically wearable.
I approach jewelry-making in the same way as other media. My creative process is very organic- a kind of 'stream-of-consciousness' evolution.

Seeing my finished product is always a surprise to me on some level. Though expecting nothing specific, I'm still astonished (and usually pleased) at getting the unexpected. One of the best things about a free-association process is the fun of analyzing the 'meaning' of the composition in retrospect. Hindsight is 20/20, or, if not, it at least makes a juicily-outlandish reading seem almost plausible...
