"My jewelry is shaped by three enduring influences: movement, a lifelong connection to Italian culture, and nature. Formal training in dance has refined my sensitivity to rhythm, balance, and flow, guiding the way each piece comes into being. From an early age, repeated journeys through Italy’s museums and historic sites immersed me in the aesthetics of the Italian Renaissance, whose sense of beauty and proportion remains a quiet, lasting presence in my work. Nature—particularly the dialogue between opposing qualities such as strength and fragility—offers a continual point of reference."
