About
Currently pursuing a B.F.A in Jewelry/Metalsmith as well as a B.A in French.
My emphasis is in Silver and Gold but I also work with copper and brass. My works include rings, chains, brooches, necklaces, bracelets that include cabachons and precious gems. My sculptural work includes metals, clay and glass.
. I've worked in floral for over 5 years ranging from corporate events to weddings. In 2010, I shifted my work so I could be involved more in gallery exhibition. I have been with GCS for 4 years nows exhibiting works of art from paintings, mixed media, and sculptures while incorporating musical acts during the opening reception. I curate an exhibition every month as well as a side exhibition every two months.
During my free time I enjoy designing and constructing men's and women's wear. -
