I've been and artist craftsperson my entire adult life. My need to create overpowers everything. I've worked in all kinds of mediums challenging my self and my skills. I love working with gemstones which prompted me to learn how to make jewelry so they can be worn on the body. As I've learned skills and techniques, I've developed a passion that can't be satiated. I constantly improve and change and grow with my artform. Metalsmithing can provide one with an endless array of avenues in which to travel.
