She has been creating masterpieces for over 50 years! GIA describes her as a “renowned lapidary, designer, and goldsmith,” and notes that her work is strongly influenced by nature — especially flowers, leaves, twigs, seed pods, and organic forms. Her jewelry often combines carved gemstones with sculptural metalwork, and she is especially associated with fluid botanical compositions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe studied art at SUNY New Paltz, earning undergraduate and graduate degrees, with training in drawing, art history, painting, ceramics, sculpture, and silversmithing. GIA also notes that she studied metalwork with Kurt Matzdorff, founder of the Society of North American Goldsmiths, and that she is a self-taught lapidary artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBonhams catalog language describes her as an American master goldsmith and lapidary whose works have been nationally and internationally exhibited and collected; the same catalog material describes her as Italian-born American, with both cultures influencing her work.
