Artist Statement

I am inspired by the natural world around me. I live on a lake, I enjoy how the water changes daily with sunlight, breeze, rain, ice, snow, loons, ducks and an occasional eagle adding to the magic. The colors changing with the seasons from light blue, light & steely grey, tans and oranges.

My designs are driven by nature. The color, shape, texture. I choose the size and it begins. I use mostly silver adding semi-precious stones, pearls and vintage baubles found here and there, always creating new one-of-a-kind designs.

I have learned different techniques over the years, stone setting, etching, keum boo and enameling to name a few,

Enjoy my pieces and thank you for the joy knowing you adds to my life.... Ann
