Combining old-world craftsmanship with contemporary design, I specialize in creating unique art pieces distinguished by intricate designs. Drawing inspiration from nature, materials, and commissioned projects alike, my creations are distinguished by intricate designs and handcrafted processes. Utilizing metals such as silver, copper, and steel, alongside semi-precious stones, I infuse each piece with a unique essence. Having sold work at art shows around the country for twenty years, I bring a wealth of experience and a passion for metalworking to every piece I create.

With over four decades of experience in metal arts, I hold a Master’s of Art in studio art and art education from Northern Arizona University. Embracing a philosophy of lifelong learning, I am deeply involved in teaching and participating in workshops across Arizona. Notably, I dedicated many years to teaching metal arts and jewelry at Yavapai Community College in Prescott, Arizona.

In my view, the primary distinction between jewelry and sculpture lies in scale. However, both disciplines demand meticulous attention to detail, edges, and finish to achieve a refined outcome.
