My works express the simple happiness in everyday life that I hold dear, and they are what make me smile translated into the language of jewelry.
The natural surroundings in Finland provide endless fuel to my creativity. Through my work, I want to share the beauty and wonder in daily life, which might be easily ignored if you don’t take a moment to see and appreciate it. I want to capture the gesture of a flower and depict the energy of a plant.
To bring my vision to life, I work mainly with precious materials and traditional techniques. The sculptural quality and free-flowing movement are very characteristic of my works. I aspire to create jewelry that doesn’t speak of time and carries itself with effortless elegance.
