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 texturing, gemstones and other unique lapidary, or resin inlay. "Clean. Crisp. Geometric. Architectural. Subtle elegance." This is how my work is described by gallery and show customers and viewers, and by commission clients. In much of my work, I will incorporate features of a stone, a metal component’s shape, and the like to result in a finished piece with complementary attributes throughout it.
Designing and fabricating engagement and wedding bands and other custom jewelry, often with people’s stones, is particularly meaningful to me and, of course, the clients. With a long career in education and national education policy, I have purposefully incorporated teaching as a significant facet of my current goldsmithing career.
