The Autumn Leaf Collection is inspired by the perfectly imperfect geometry of nature. The filigreed patterns of the leaf's skeleton structure suggest the end of its' life cycle - marking the passage of time. Autumn leaves give hope as they decay and return to the ground, nurturing the earth and fueling new beginnings."For me, leaves are a metaphor for life itself. They tell the story of nature as a whole, and of the circle of life. The structure of leaves, once both delicate and strong, fascinates me. I wanted to celebrate each leaf as a reminder of the preciousness of life and of our place in the universe."
