Artist Statement
I am inspired by the world around me and the objects collected along the way, a discarded rusty scrap of metal, a pebble, or a vintage photograph. These treasures have found a home in my work, I like working with contrasts in materials, the patina of a rusty washer next to the light and color reflected in a faceted stone. My work is hand fabricated and incorporates a variety of metal techniques. Pieces are one-of-kind or made in small editions.
