Having a collection of childhood keepsakes and other charms and milagros, I  make whimsical and nonsensical art objects, incorporating them with knitted wire. Many of these can be worn as pendants as well as hung on the wall. They're meant to be fun, but of course I bring my painting and drawing sensibility to their design.
