Hammered vessels and sculpture in pewter, silver, and copper; design/creation of one of a kind objects (gifts, props, treasure); teaching all levels of jewellery/metalsmithing; consulting for interior metal objects and contemporary craft.Abbreviated Artist's Statement:
Simply put, my work is about life. I am interested in the commonalities we go through, exploring them through the enduring and challenging medium of metal. I use the emotion and dramas of our experiences to explore both the light and dark cycles of life: birth, death, union, separation, redemption, and so on-- the good, the bad, and the beautiful.
