Her pieces are inspired by her love of travel and adventures in places including India, China, Hong Kong, Tanzania, Kenya, and Brazil. The colors and textures from each culture show up in stone choices like sleeping beauty turquoise, angel skin coral, blue topaz, and chrysoprase. Many designs feature carved gemstones.
