the number 10
Ten signifies spiritual achievement and new beginnings. It is equated with the spiritual world brought into physical form. From the most ancient times, ten has been used to symbolize perfection as it reduces (1+0=1) back to the number one.

timeless geometric codes
The strands of our DNA, the cornea of our eye, snow flakes, pine cones, flower petals, diamond crystals, the branching of trees, a nautilus shell, the star we spin around, the galaxy we spiral within, the air we breathe, and all life forms as we know them emerge out of timeless geometric codes.
The designs of places from the prehistoric monuments at Stonehenge and the Pyramid of Khufu at Giza, to the world's great cathedrals, mosques, and temples are based on these same principles of sacred geometry. As far back as the Greek Mystery schools 2500 years ago, it was taught that there are five perfect 3-dimensional forms - the tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron...collectively known as the Platonic Solids; and that these form the foundation of everything in the physical world.
Modern scholars ridiculed this idea until the 1980's, when Professor Robert Moon at the University of Chicago demonstrated that the entire Periodic Table of Elements - literally everything in the physical world - is based on these same five geometric forms. In fact, throughout modern physics, chemistry, and biology, the geometric patterns of creation are being rediscovered. The ancients knew that these patterns were codes symbolic of our own inner realm and that the experience of geometry was essential to the education of the soul.

circles
People have asked why I use so many circles in my art and jewelry. I love the shape of the circle and what it symbolizes - unity, wholeness, infinity, and female power. But it can also mean to bind and restrict. I guess its the paradox that I love!

art and ritual as inspiration
Kayapo headdresses
One of the inspirations for making jewelry is my love of art, especially from ancient and tribal cultures. Throughout history and in cultures around the world, feathers have long been used as body ornamentation and in rituals. I came across this exhibition “Spirits and Headhunters: Vanishing Worlds of the Amazon” at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The exhibition records the mostly-ceremonial dress worn by the few remaining indigenous groups from eight regions of the Amazon. They are an endangered species; only 100,000 remain from a population estimated at 3-5 million prior to the arrival of Europeans. The exhibition is a reminder that body adornment is man’s original art form. Applying cosmetics and dressing-up for special occasions is highly traditional. While a few of the pieces were described as every-day dress, most were for ceremonial use and the most extravagant were usually worn by the shamans.
