I grew up in NYC, and somehow ended up in the UP. The melding of cultures stirred up in me a surpising mix of colors, which I attempted to actualize, first with watercolor paint. I’ve found, in my quest for the best, that epoxy resin is the best medium for capturing the dance of the colored inks.
I stumbled upon alcohol inks at the store and began using them to paint on glassware. I found epoxy resin was the best clear coat sealant. I was often left with extra resin, so I bought some molds. About a year ago I was shown how to use resin in bezels & pendants, and I began to create necklaces, chokers, earrings and bracelets.
I begin each piece by cutting out a section of an alcohol ink painting, which I place as the background. I then add dried pressed flowers, gears, glitter, and other found objects. Finally I seal it with epoxy resin & cure it to complete the pendant. The alcohol inks are UV reactive, and many colors glow under a black light.
As my momentum continues, I move from watercolors on paper to glassware to resin art jewelry. I love what I do and I hope you love how you feel when you are wearing your newest piece.
Thank you for supporting my dream.
