“I believe that jewelry is not only the adornment, but a philosophy surrounding it. It brings up questions like: why are you putting this piece on? What message does it bare? How does the piece you wear so closely to your body make you feel and what does it symbolize to you? Why have you chosen this producer? What processes and hands did each of it’s components pass through? For me jewelry making is very meditative. The process of delving into concepts with you helps me shed light onto the aforementioned questions.”

Alchemy of Inspiration: The Artistic Journey of a Jewelry Maker

For her jewelry making is a very meditative process, but it starts with checking what is on her mind/body/heart it varies, what stage she is living through what does she want to express. She plays with wax thinking about all of that. Liquid, solid. Carving or molding. Sometimes she sculpts the pieces in clay and sees how they could look like and feel in metal. Once the idea sparked her she works the metal. That is the beautiful part. The smells, the feeling of it as a more harder and more resistant material. Sometimes it could take her months throwing ideas here and there, sometimes she can make the whole set of ideas in just 2 weeks.
