I have been a metal artist for 15 years, I create hammered and textured jewelry out of copper and brass, using metal forming and texturing to create unique wearable pieces of art. My inspiration comes from geometric shapes and the many ways metal can be manipulated to create movement. My favorite types of pieces are mixed metal with beads and stones.
My background in art actually started with painting and pastel work but I gravitated towards jewelery making in the early 2000’s. I started with beading and quickly began learning how to make my own components and metal designs. Copper and brass are my favorite types of metals because the color combinations that can be created. I love the way copper and brass look together, creating an “ancient worlds” imagery.
