My passion for travelling led me indirectly to Jewelry making since was the only way to afford it. I would spend hours and hours sitting on the streets of the visited countries selling my jewelry in order to pay for food and bed. And what started as a need for survival became a need for living.
Travelling I met my husband (after bumping into each other for years in different countries) and after living on an island on the French west coast of for a few years we’ve moved to Paris to start a new life.
I work and create in a Gallery of art called “Goutte de Terre”, ( www.gouttedeterre.org) , part of the profits go to finance an ONG project working with water access problems.
In 2005 I took a small silversmith course at the “Escuela de Artes Plasticas” in Taxco, Mexico (The mecca of silversmith in the country, you gotta go visit! it is such a beautiful village) but I would say that I am mostly self taught.
My work doesn’t follow one particular design aesthetic but rather involves some form of technical experimentation, that’s where I find the motivation for making every piece, and I have to say that my most beautiful creation so far is my 5 year old son…Teva.
I put my heart into every piece of jewelry I make, that is why for me they tell a story, they are all unique, I hope you can see that too…
IMPORTANT
I carefully craft each piece of my jewelry from recycled metals bought from a refiner who does not purchase metal from mines.
Sterling Silver is the same recycled or freshly mined, I’ve chosen recycled, or refined, to avoid any new mining (thus the destruction of the environment).
