In a nutshell, I discovered an intense passion for metals in the mid-1980's then spent 15 years teaching myself from books. I then discovered the benefit of learning from the masters, and grew exponentially over the next 15 years, leaving one profession for another (medical to metals). Today I continue to learn from masters; I also teach. This will be my 5th summer teaching at Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) in their Craftsummer Program. My work is contemporary; I love process and presently am working on lightweight abstract hollow forms, using both precious and base metals.; -
