I favor "small subjects" of all kinds, and love picking out details of people, places, and things. I also enjoy experimenting with designs, colors, patterns, and light. My photography style favors a photojournalistic approach with bold, vibrant colors and realistic subjects, but I make room for images with a more impressionistic flair, too.
My jewelry pieces these days are mostly made with gemstones, pearls, and vintage beads or buttons, with light wire working and hand crafted findings. I range from bold and funky, unexpected designs to more traditional beaded patterns. My jewelry can be found online at CinnamonAndSilver.com
