For the past twenty years I’ve been hand-fabricating mixed-metal jewelry and showing across the country…I conceive and construct each piece myself, controlling the process from start to finish…cutting, forming, and connecting. I use high karat gold, fine and sterling silver, precious and semi-precious stones in my designs. I attended the University of Minnesota for six years…majoring in Architecture, also studying Structural Engineering and Photography before becoming a studio metalsmith.
