I love the contrast between metal and polymer clay.  Metal is bullied and cajoled into doing what you want by hammering, sawing and torching.  Polymer, on the other hand, is the most cooperative, versatile and forgiving of mediums.  As is so often true of opposites, the two work beautifully together.

My work is inspired by nature, which may seem strange since my primary medium is a synthetic plastic.  But the chameleon-like qualities of polymer clay allow for innumerable ways of bringing an artistic vision to life.  My polymer work encompasses a variety of surface techniques, including alcohol inks, acrylic paints and image transfers altered with colored pencils.  The end result is jewelry that is organic, simple and very wearable.
