Jewelry
as the son of a bronze jeweler, i grew up watching and learning the processes of metal working, as well as seeing various artists throughout my childhood. in my work, i prefer to focus on the balance, comfort, originality, creativity, and satisfaction of each piece, rather than the quantity produced. i use bronze, brass, copper, and nickel, with an aptitude for "metal marriage" using a "free flow" technique, creating unique sculptured jewelry without solder, casts, or molds. all pieces are individual and unique with a certain character of their own.
