I have worked abstractly and most often geometrically throughout my fifty years of making jewelry, but my anger and frustration with the current leadership and conditions in the United States, as well as with the war in Ukraine, led to my first foray into jewelry with a political point of view. Conceiving and making these designs, which follows the long tradition of artists taking on leaders through satire and humor, helped me vent some of my feelings. I hope they have a similar cathartic effect on others.
