Artist Statement:
For over thirty years, I have used jewelry to
visually describe life’s joy and romance. My pieces are
angular and strong, reflecting a deep familiarity with my
materials. Starting with blackboard sketching, I enjoy
developing new concepts and watching them metamorphose
through metal manipulation, fabrication, casting and stone
inlay. I create the Marraccini feeling by guiding the
materials to their natural forms, with special attention to
detail and precise craftsmanship. At my studio in
Charlottesville, Virginia, I combine exquisite gemstones,
conflict-free diamonds and recycled gold in contemporary,
classic designs that have won numerous awards at
professional craft shows. |
