I am a silversmith and jeweler. I design and create flatware and jewelry. My work changes, but it is very architectural and yet, reflects nature in leaf/flower designs. Generally, I make high-quality gold and silver jewelry with precious gemstones, for sale in galleries and selected fine craft fairs, as well as private commission work. I participate in gallery exhibitions to showcase my one of a kind work. I also teach jewelrymaking, striving to pass on my knowledge to future generations. I have been teaching for 9 years and manage a small jewelry dept at a local college, as well as teaching workshops throughout the northeastern U.S. and New England region. I teaching all stages of jewelrymaking, silversmithing, flatware and wireweaving. I feel it is important to keep silversmithing and jewelrymaking going for future generations so that ancient skills don't disappear.; -
