MARRIAGE OF THE METALS

Gold and silver, sacred elements, are a living part of the universe created by the forces of synergy within exploding stars. The ancients called them "tears of the sun" (gold) and "tears of the moon" (silver). I design, fold, bend, meld, melt, fuse, solder, file, pound, drill, saw, polish, cut and hold these precious elements with great creative love and respect. It is an inspiration to work with them. Together, the marriage of the sacred metals and song of the singing stones create a unique piece of living art that embraces the spirit of the wearer. When a person finds that a piece of my jewelry resonates in them, it brings a great joy to my heart and soul.




 
SONG OF THE STONES

I love stones. Each stone has its own individual song. A unique lifeforce vibration which determines its color, shape, hardness and intensity of spirit. Listening to this song I follow its guiding tune and enhance its visual and physical environment, creating a small altar, shrine or temple for each stone or combination of stones. I give thanks for nature's rainbow spectrum of colors and the light and vibration of well being they can offer the wearer. For me jewelry is an extension of art as a way of living.
