my journey as an artist in metal sculpture has grown over the years and has continued to evolve resulting in the creation of wearable art. the jewelry i create has taken on a life of it's own influenced greatly by the medieval and renaissance era. my passion for old world style took me to ireland to study under a master silversmith. with the knowledge gained on this venture, my work is created with the use of age-old silversmithing techniques. the jewelry that i create is not manufactured by machines, nor is it mass-produced. these age-old techniques are rather uncommon to mainstream industry, but are rich in handmade quality. the collections range from hand wrought, chain mail, and leather inspired designs. not limited to these collections, a variety of commissioned pieces have been created to fit the styles of those who appreciate my work and also favor those that differ from the ones presented in my currant portfolio.
