Abstract:

My art is an invitation—to wonder, to connect with the ineffable. My art is inspired by art deco and antique style jewelry. Since the beginning of this Artistic journey, I have always been fascinated by different styles of art and works of the old Master of Art. As an artist, I don’t see this path I’m on as a future career choice, but a learning process to become better with my craft.With my art I want to be able to share the beauty in things I see. Be able to share my talent and skills with others who don't have the opportunity I have. Behind the scenes, When I’m creating pieces of art, I tend to get lost in the process. It’s like a tunnel vision where everything around you is canceled out. You get into this creative flow, and you just create without thinking about it. You can feel the creative energy all around you.
