Meet the Artist
I work with a torch, hammer, and saw daily. Pliers are natural extensions of my fingers. I use files to carve and shape metal and wax. Tiny locks and hinges are my stock in trade. I love what I do; my craft thrills me as an artist and inventor. I'm grateful every day that my hands can make what my imagination can design.I’ve always had a creative and analytical mind. I delight in taking mechanisms apart just to figure out how they work. I've been making decorative objectss all my life, and guided in my practice solely by my intuition.
I grew up in Chile at a time when being resourceful was a highly valued characteristic. As a result, I became proficient in working with heat and metal to express my artistic voice.
I intend to make fantastic jewelry and at the same time, expand the dialogue between art and precious materials in the medium. My jewelry collections are diverse; they include elegantly simple pieces and some that are extremely complex. Whether the piece has 1,000 small links or is a simple band, my objective is the same, to make remarkable jewelry that will delight your senses.
BOLD. BEAUTIFUL. NEVER BORING.
