The thoughtful and reflective "Raining at Rosehill" series features strong forms and deep-color gemstones.
"Just like photos in an album, many pieces in this series are held within oval frames. I love to use moonstones for the light they shed, a sheen that needs a particular angle to be seen, and I love opals for the scenes they contain. Blue is very much a color of my series, sapphires, kyanite and tanzanites, contrasting with the tang of a soft bronze green, chrysoberyl and peridot and the ripeness of burnt orange garnets. Each of the pieces in “Raining at Rosehill” asks the viewer to consider its many elements carefully before basking in its revelation. -Eve
