My inspiration for this Collection was given to me one morning by my Creator. I was preparing to do a piece for an upcoming exhibition and this idea was planted in my mind. During the Covid-19 pandemic, our connections to and relationships with people are more important than ever. As we journey through this life, we maintain, develop and nurture a multitude of relationships, which can be complicated, superficial or deeply entwined like a beautifully woven tapestry.

As I began my work on this series, I employed a number of metalsmith techniques from workshops taken with several masters, adding my own design interpretations. I incorporated gold accents on some pieces, faceted gemstones on others with the intent that these represent the joy and love in our lives. The twists and turns of the metal are meant to show the ups and downs we experience as we follow our paths.

I hope you will find these pieces as intriguing as I do.
