Artist Statement:
 
Creating a piece of jewelry often starts from an inspiring colored stone.   I chose my materials carefully and appreciate quality in everything.   Color has always been a well of joy and energy for me and I have found that painting with pastel is a more direct approach that is fulfilling my desire to create and work with color.  I very much paint with my fingers as I like to blend my pastels.   I find inspiration through reflecting on my inner thoughts and my dreams that have always been vivid and present.   I like recalling those images in my journey to become more intuitive and aware of my creative world.  I continue being very active in the jewelry world, creating custom wedding rings and very intricate and personalized pieces that are directly inspired by my customers.    I get a feel for discovering what would fit the personality of the person and have made many unique pieces for the last 22 years in my studio in Mount Vernon.  I also teach private advanced jewelry making classes.   I am a native of the French part of Switzerland and graduated from L’Ecole d’art appliqué of La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland as a professional goldsmith in 1979.  I have lived in Mount Vernon, WA since 1985.
