All the different mediums studied and experiences
converged with her talent for design. She learned to translate
those qualities through jewelry design and creation.
She has chosen the "lost wax" process to express herself.
"I gradually became fascinated with the medium of metal,
a sculpture on a different scale" Wax has this
endless versatility, and from the first steps of this process
which is carving the design in the wax, to the second stage
of creating a metal model and to the last stage of fabricating
all the different elements, the results are just so gratifying.
My work reflects my passion for Architecture and fashion.
Volumes, shapes, built to created a perfect harmony between
a white metal like silver and vibrant precious stones.
Structure in my work has a larger importance in the final
look of a piece than the actual chosen stone.
Each piece is unique, treated as a journey that only
a pulsion of passion will make me create.
Bringing a piece to completion then becomes the real challenge.
As you will be able to notice thru my site, I love to design and create rings,
rings are little sculptures, little entities therefore complete as a whole.
I first look at all the various metal shapes that I have created over the years
using the lost wax process, my metal pieces then become my palette of shapes
and textures that I can arrange, manipulate to start creating a new piece.
All my rings are one of a kind and strictly different in style and emotions, they
just represent my way of life, my mood of the moment and that is why I have so many
women wearing my work and so many women with their differences looking very
unique in my work.
One element that is the driving force behind my creations is the actual movement
created by an action and that is what is represented in my work.
"Passion in motion", my work is wearable art and it is a state of mind.
MP'S work was exhibited at the Aaron Faber Gallery
in New York City for a show on modern jewelry called:"jewelry
in abstracted and non-objective from."
Her penchant for architecture and a flair for constructivism
is strongly represented by some of the industrial shapes,
kinetic at time but always full of emotions and femininity.

a member of the JDPN and ACC.
Marie-Pierre's paintings were on exhibit in Manhattan for many years,
