"As an artist, my outward communication is through precious metals and stones. My work is inspired from many facets of life: modern architecture, organic life, spiritualism and experiences. The common design elements are minimal lines, shapes and forms that are hand fabricated into sculptural adornment for the human body...my expression."

"It's one thing to be a local jewelry designer-doesn't it seem like everyone in Atlanta is making necklaces and earrings now?-yet when your creations are so unique that they're recognized by a museum and featured in a juried exhibition, well that's a designer worth checking out."
Jennifer Green, Atlanta Magazine Online
"...I have to attribute some of this to the positive energy that comes from your jewelry. I am going to buy more pieces from you! I love how I feel when I am wearing your jewlery!!!!" Khanh Nguyen
