Art is in my blood through a long lineage of acclaimed and beloved familial painters. Surrounded by artists and their artwork, my childhood was saturated with color and form, and infused with intention by the frequent conversations about its meaning. So, in a way, art is also my first language. In 1999, I opened my studio in the seaside community of Cape Ann, Massachusetts, and established “Art by any Means Jewelry” as my creative vision. Initially, our name was a pun on Art by any Medium, as I have a degree in Fine Art and formal training in many genres, and additionally, my feeling that jewelry is an art form, by any means. I was drawn to designing jewelry because it includes the structure of sculpture and the expressive colors of painting, the satisfying form and function of ceramics, and the ultimate production of small batch printing. Perhaps what I love most about jewelry is the evocative way it becomes your artistic expression when you wear it. 

Why wear an accessory when you can express your creativity with art?
