My favorite jewelry designer is Suzanne Belperron, a great Parisian jeweler who was known for her bold and creative use of stones. I admire the fact that she was a strong successful woman during a time when women did not play a large role in the work force.

I draw inspiration from my travels, so I am always keeping my eye out for what is new in each corner of the country.

I love seeing Houston. Houston has a great style and energy.

Many with careers in the art world are intimidated, and afraid to speak out against the gospels of Modernist theory.
