Objects
This collection of objects includes works completed between 1994 to 2014. Metal work & jewelry courses in high school & college provided a foundational understanding of soldering, casting, and the physical & chemical behaviors and properties of metals. I received certification as a jewelry technician through my study with Alan Revere at the Revere Academy (San Francisco) in 2015 (stone setting, engraving, gems, etc.) These items are independent sketches, studies, models, and explorations from windows of time when I had access to a jewelry studio. Special thanks to my teachers: Nancy Montgomery, Billie-Jean Theide, and Alan Revere.
