The art

I am a self-taught metalsmith and have had the pleasure of selling my copper, bronze, sterling silver and fine silver handmade jewelry and accessories to hundreds of men and women around the world. I lean to organic, textured forms and minimalist styles. 

In addition to jewelry, accessories include money clips/money rings, scarf slides, hair sticks, hair cuffs and cloak pins among other pieces. Items for home and garden include small copper and sterling wall hooks, copper and sterling cocktail/hors d'oeuvres picks, and occasionally garden gate bells.

the materials

“In their purest forms, copper’s and bronze’s warm earth tones contrast beautifully with sterling’s cool sheen and offer endless design and fabrication opportunities. Persuaded by fire, anvil and hammer, these malleable metals are well suited to forging into a myriad of forms and functions.”
