My hope is to create high end and heirloom jewelry (wearable art) that will be collected and passed down through generations. Moving away from costume jewelry and into quality over quantity. A successful exhibition and positive feedback would also be the ultimate goal in the success of this project. Having the confidence to approach new galleries knowing that I have pushed myself to produce a high end body of work is also a huge part of the equation for me. My hope is that this collection will evolve my current work and aesthetic to a place that will open up new opportunities within the higher art world. The completion of this collection of work would be the first milestone of many. Another important indicator that i have succeeded would be having opportunities to exhibit and introduce this new body of work to the public eye. Finally having collectors invest in my work is always a rewarding reminder that i have created something that moves people.
