Geometrics
This collection was the very first with inspiration coming from two of my favorite abstract artists,
Piet Mondrian and Mark Rothko.
Although Mondrian was thirty years older than Rothko,
both were instrumental in advancing modern art with unmistakable use of bold shapes and colors.
Geometrics pulls line and color, and then adds texture either by altering the metal
or by the use of patinas to create a unique look and feel.

Using sheet metals and wire, each piece of jewelry is custom designed, hand cut, forged with applied patinas.
Once complete, pieces are sealed with lacquer or wax.
Since reactions between the metals and patinas are not consistent, the depth and tone of color will vary with each piece.
There also are variations from piece to piece due to the handcrafted nature of the jewelry.
