Lander, WY. USA

I work with metal clay and traditional silversmithing and try to
meld the two. Growing up in Northeastern Montana my mother was an
avid Montana Agate hunter and I have been the loving recipient of
much of her stone work so Agate plays a strong role in my work. I am
a horticulturist by training and much of my metal work is botanical
in nature with leaves set with stone.
