I produce fine contemporary jewelry and other metal designs primarily in the precious metals of gold, silver, palladium, and platinum. These are often further defined with the addition of gemstones, unique lapidary, resin inlay, and/or texturing. Designing and fabricating engagement and wedding rings, as well as other jewelry, often with people�s stones from family heirlooms, is particularly meaningful.

"Clean. Crisp. Geometric. Architectural. Subtle elegance." This is how my work has been described by visitors to my show booths, galleries in which my work is sold, and by clients who have commissioned me to make custom pieces. When designing jewelry or other metal work, I always think about whether I would wear it, use it, and/or display it. Anyone who knows me sees a reflection of me in what I design.

In addition to participating in art shows, sales, and doing commission work, I love providing instruction in jewelry design and metal fabrication. With a lifetime of work and undergraduate and graduate work in education and education policy, I have also deliberately incorporated the provision of education into my metalsmithing career.
