Please consider this site a portal, a gallery window through which to become acquainted with my work. From commissioned rings to one of a kind brooches and neckpieces, all of my work is forged, fabricated and cast in my Seattle studio. Metals might include various carats and colors of gold, sterling silver, copper, bronze and shibuichi—a 2/3 copper, 1/3 silver alloy of Japanese origin. When heated with a torch, shibuichi produces a surface reminiscent of lizard skin. I use patinas to darken the bronze to brown, the sterling and shibuichi to black or gray. Other materials range from precious and semiprecious gemstones to a wide variety of salvaged artifacts such as shell, bone, plastic or glass.

While the bulk of what I build is wearable I also make small sculpture, architectural details, hollowware and tableware. Enjoy.
