ARTIST STATEMENT: A locket is instantly recognized as an object that has a story to tell. It draws us in and compels us to open the tiny, hinged door to discover something within. Living in an era that is characterized by disposable objects has compelled me to create pieces that are more than ephemeral trinkets to be acquired and quickly forgotten. I want everything I create to someday reach the status of ‘heirloom’. My goal is to combine materials that have a high level of permanence with quality craftsmanship and classic design to create lasting objects to be cherished and admired for generations to come.
