| The Designer: |
I grew up in Prince Edward Island, Canada's smallest province and still see myself as an islander. Every summer I return for at least 2 months where I also have a studio overlooking French River. The rest of the time I work in Kennebunk, Maine. Wicked lucky, eh?!!
I started working with metals after my chemistry degree in the seventies but didn't dream my lab would take the form of a jeweler's bench and metalsmithing. I love working with silver and am fascinated by the design process. Organic forms inspire me as well as finding balance in asymmetrical forms. The words that come to mind in creating my designs are clean, simple, elegant, contemporary, organic and fun. Elements of good design in jewelry are much like a well lived life- always searching for truth and balance while remaining open to the unexpected. My jewelry studies have been with the Heartwood College of Art in Kennebunk, Maine College of Art in Portland and other courses that I've taken along with teaching myself by doing. I hope my pieces bring you joy in wearing them. |
The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
