Innovative sculptural beadwork jewelry with re-imagined uses of traditional stitching techniques, emphasizing self-supporting forms, light, and color. Each piece is woven with a needle and sturdy, specialized thread, Czech glass and other materials.

I create jewelry with a variety of traditional stitching techniques, using larger beads to create sculptural works that play with light and color. Each piece is woven with a needle and sturdy, specialized thread, Czech glass and other materials. My current body of work is focused on nostalgic colorways that evoke joyful memories, with a focus on colors and shapes drawn from Central European folk art.
