Clockmaker

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I’m a Manhattan girl who now keeps time in rural, Upstate New York. After nearly 30 years as a clockmaker, my work reconciles those sensibilities, blending minimalist geometry and comfortable, approachable beauty. Materials include hand-painted, stained, and natural woods combined with copper, nickel, and other metals colored with special patinas for a warm, almost painterly feel.
