artist statatement:
"The color and forming techniques have consumed most of my attention lately. I enjoy adding the occasional splash of color or hint of gold: which can imply or totally transform the mood of a piece."
Most of my work is created with a sketch however, on more complex pieces I construct a paper model or work the idea out in copper which eliminates any waste of my precious metals. Working with a 3-D form allows me to experiment with many ideas and also creates instant feed back. After I have the piece thoroughly designed I then move forward to create the idea in either gold, sterling, Argentium, or fine silver.
My work is not set in stone (no pun intended). I tweak the design as needed to create the look and feel I want. I enhance my work with unusual gemstones, inlaid enamel, hand dyed resin, or pearls as I see fit...or sometimes just let the metal speak for itself. Whether the process is complex or simple, it is always exhilarating for me to see the end result of my efforts.
