I utilize discarded materials such as cast away jewelry and disabled mannequins to contribute to the theme and message of my creations. Each object provides a subtext suggesting not only its original function but also the scar of its use over time.

When you closely examine the intricate composition of the piece, you discern the great variety of whimsical messages revealed by the mosaics in the miniature building blocks of jewels.

Once new, then used, rejected and discarded; subsequently reborn as elements in a work of art to please the heart and move the soul.
