Jazz Art Jewelry Collection

Glamorous and gutsy, sultry and swinging, technically difficult, yet when done well, it sounds effortless… Jazz’s origins speak of complex African rhythms, European fugues, culture defyingly independent women, and Art Deco. Jazz is the art form that has pulled together my diverse influences as far back as I can remember. Like being a good musician, being a metalsmith takes immense skill and also the ability to improvise when ideas and plans inevitably change. Lines can meander, converge and take off, but ultimately they have to resolve into something compelling. Jazz is the soundtrack of my soul.
