Jewelry

My porcelain collection--earrings, pins, and necklaces-- are fired several times to achieve hardness and durability. I formulate my own glazes for range of colors inspired by nature. The precious metals-- gold, and white gold --are applied before the last firing to accent and infuse the pieces with a lustrous finish. The necklaces are often reversible, and are direct impression of driftwood or stones from Gros Morne National Park, a World Heritage Site, in Newfoundland.

  My birch earrings are marbled in Ebru style, a distinctive genre of painting on water popular in Turkey and Central Asia. After shaping the birch wood, I marble each pair on both sides using acrylic paint. Each piece features a unique abstract design on each side, and therefore is reversible.
