Artist Statement
My Birds Nest Collection includes jewelry that is inspired by the amazing creations of the Bowerbird. Mimicking his flair for decorating ( males make nests to a attract a mate ) I embellished with layers upon layers of both old & newer scavenged objects that are thoughtfully placed & hand sewn into each piece. Fine vintage jewels, plastic trinkets, antique lace, shredded fabric & discarded junk all exist in harmony in my one of kind creations.
