• About This Artist

  My work focuses on the potential for steel mesh to create three-dimensional sculptural jewelry. Woven wire mesh is a very attractive material in which wires are woven together to create different patterns. I discovered that when two sheets of wire mesh overlap with distance, they create beautiful patterns and geometry, giving the illusion that there might be something else in between.
