Statement:

In my artwork I use the unique properties inherent in beads (shine, cut, finish) to explore color, light and texture. My goal is to create pieces that are both not of this world and yet instantly recognizable. I achieve this by individually placing the desired beads one-by-one in a composition that contains both real and imaginary elements. By exaggerating or focusing on the world in this way, I produce pieces that are constantly changing based on the environment in which they are placed, thus opening up a path for us to see life and nature in a new and extraordinary way.
