Gold, sparkle, glitz, and glamour…

I began my artistic journey studying ceramic art in college and earned my Bachelor of Arts degree. I later majored in jewelry design, where I became deeply fascinated by metal and its expressive possibilities.

While I loved creating jewelry, I felt the urge to explore beyond small-scale work. That led me to create sculptures and 2D pieces using metal, gemstones, and a mix of unique materials.

Since I was young, I’ve been drawn to the beauty of the medieval era and Art Nouveau. These inspirations show in the details and flow of my work. Gold, my signature color, symbolizes warmth and strength, while precious stones bring light and energy into each piece.

When I create, I imagine the most beautiful, joyful moments. I believe my work carries that energy—and I hope it brings a sense of beauty and strength to those who encounter it.
