MEtalwork, Jewelry Design & Digital Fabrication

ARTIST STATEMENT

Living and creating in the visual culture of today’s contemporary society,

I create for survival and identity. Influenced by the art nouveau, my

designs are a contemporary interpretation, walking the line between

commerce and couture. Utilizing digital fabrication, precious materials,

and traditional processes allows for full exploration of the relationships

between found elements of the natural world and historical tradition.
