After completing my MFA from RISD, I moved from Rhode Island back to my native Los Angeles. My dimensional work in sculpture and art jewelry was well received and shown in many galleries and publications. I set up my live/work metal jewelry/sculpture studio in the arts district, downtown, which I still maintain since 1985. Influenced by forms of natural structure, the study of D’Arcy Thompson’s 1917 writings nurtured the Unduloid series, an abstraction of universal form. My one of kind wall works and art jewelry reflect this. I was fortunate to be in select exhibits and galleries in major cities and internationally. I maintain an original edition line of wearable works inspired by botanic structure and western plant structure. Photographs by Karl Blossfeldt and concrete art by Peter Shelton were influential, along with organic forms of Louise Bourgeois.
I balance craft and art, fine detail and expressive modes, keeping my vision unique. I explored and created a unique process of electroforming, studied at RISD under Michael Glancey. It allowed me to create large sculptural organic forms for the body. While my work has always been about structure, I find today I am reinventing the forms of natural forces that I explored earlier. I apply it to the unseen forms that shape our world and comes from force of weather, fire and natural disasters. This force also enables bird migration and butterflies to find magnetic forces.
