My work is developed in series. Each series has its own connecting thread. Text is often an integrated part. Throughout the entire collection the unifying energy is that each piece has the following layers of response: * Visual impression including the image, media, and technique. * A personal response to the design aesthetic, * Awareness of a deeper level of meaning, * Contemplation of "What does this mean for me?" * The spiritual synergy that evolves with the piece. Whimsical Birds These sterling birds have metaphoric messages which upon first glance are light and playful. But beyond the first impression is encouragement for us to ponder. Each jewelry piece houses in a 14" x 14" x 1.25" acrylic home until brought out to be worn and to be enjoyed as a piece of wall art when not worn. The jewelry pieces range from 2" to 4" in width or height. A collection of 16"x 20" watercolors mirror the thoughts and images of the silver series.
