Artist Statement:
In order to attain beauty, one must undertake a journey. This journey begins with a simple stone, a gift from Nature. With unlimited possibilities, I seek to patiently release from each stone the inner beauty I know it holds. Using traditional lapidary techniques, I cut, shape, and polish. As possibility becomes reality, my vision becomes cabochon. In turn, each special cabochon transforms into pendant. Great joy is found in seeking and sharing the beauty of Nature , a worthwhile journey. This is my way.
