My mother was a jewelry collector. She introduced me to the glittering world of precious metal and stones.
Later fashion caught up with me - fabrics, cords, glass and base metals.
This has shaped my artistic travel: starting with paper, wood and vintage broken jewelry as a kid I continued creating by mixing textiles, brass and plated metals with bohemian glass and crystals - vintage or not.
Now my love lies with wire and precious/semiprecious stones. Bronze and copper caught my heart first, closely followed by silver. I wonder where to my ongoing travel will lead me.
