Intricate and precise twined silver-plated wire. Each vessel conveys a sense of peace, beauty, innovation, and order. I spend many days designing the vessel in my mind before I enter my studio. Both the beginning and the end of the vessel are critical to visualize before I start the actual, physical act of creating the piece. I visualize in advance the color, texture, proportions, and form. The colors and shapes must generate harmony and balance. While my pieces are small, the form must give a sense of space. I want to create vessels that give people as much pleasure to view as they gave me to create. The vessels must give a sense of peace when viewed. The eyes of the viewers must be drawn to and through the piece so they can enjoy the beauty of the object. The thrill of creating unique pieces energizes me. Each new vessel gives me ideas for additional new creations.
