I moved to New York for art, and, after twenty years of drawing and painting and making objects, I suddenly found myself making jewelry. I love the excitement of trying an idea, not knowing what it will become, and then, when it is finished, experimenting all over again. Hand making is especially important to me because it is a slow process that lets ideas gradually, haltingly, come into focus and be tumbled around and played with and splintered off and pursued indefinitely in unforeseen directions.
