a word or two about the portfolio
A portfolio is a window into an artisan's soul. It represents simultaneously their skills as a craftsman, creativity as a designer, ingenuity as a technician and, in the undefinable way that makes an artist what they are, their thoughts and dreams made real.
All of the pieces in the gallery represent works in open series, currently available pieces, or past triumphs in design. These works of wearable art showcase not only our skills as jewelers, but also our continual development in the role of creators of the dreams of others.
As you peruse this constantly evolving collection of jewelry, do not consider it a mere catalog for ordering. Instead, see it as a beginning vocabulary in the language of wearable art; a lexicon you can use to help describe to us the things you have been dreaming about, but have not had the words to describe.Russ Sharek, 1998.
