My jewelry is fueled by my experience of color in the urban backdrop. My work is infused with the ephemeral quality of street art. I search for tags and illustrations on city facades that chronicle cultural attitudes of pop urbanism. I treasure spontaneous, expressive linear outbursts charged with youthful energy that indulge my formal designs. The personal adornment I craft exists somewhere between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object. Through keen consideration for color, and the use of positive and negative space, adornment materializes from illustration. I strive to juxtapose the transient quality of graffiti with the precision of traditional metal working techniques to encapsulate a sense of reckless cavalier.
