Working in silver, copper, brass, gold, precious and semi-precious stones, pearls and beads, I create one-of-a-kind adornments inspired by water (the New England seacoast I visit often and the Charles River I look upon every day), earth (the cool and quiet woods of the river’s banks and the windswept dunes, scrub and rugged rock of the Atlantic shore), and fire (reflections of sun and moon in the metals and stones I choose, shape and combine).
A dancer by choice for many years, teaching, performing, choreographing, I was forced to give it up due to irreversible injury. Seeking new ways to create, I discovered great joy in working with silver, studying first with Rich Cincotta in Arlington, then with Gianna Bird, with whom I’ve since shared working space at Silver Moon Studio.
