Artist Statement
My passion for working directly in precious metal as reflected in my forging fabrication & reticulation also shows in my one-of-a-kind lost wax castings. I sculpt each piece with a simplicity & purity which blends classic & contemporary styles. My designs in recycled precious metals are often set with genuine gems unique minerals fossils or meteorites which allow an interplay of color & light between stone and material. My work has been exhibited at American Craft Council shows in several states 40 years of the better fine art shows from MN to FL(with numerous awards) and is also shown in the Permanent Gem Collection of the Chicago Field Museum.
