I have often wondered, what is perfection? Is imperfection a failure? How could I be perfect? These questions go back to my childhood when I was repeatedly told that only the pursuit of perfection is worthwhile. I always felt that there was an invisible standard pushing me towards achieving perfection in life.

 

I feel achieving perfection is nearly impossible, however, my experiences with nature have proven that imperfections are all around me… and they are beautiful. I discovered that naturally occurring, imperfect, eye-catching, and beautiful accidents bring individuality, diversity, and beauty to everything. Cultivating beauty in these imperfections has become a passion that drives me forward. I carefully incorporate those discarded/abandoned natural objects into my work to elevate and redefine the beauty of imperfection.

 

I strive to create a perfect collision of beauty and imperfection using jewelry, symbolizing my connection with nature. Perfect imperfections exist naturally in nature and all of humanity.
