I am a Gold Smith from Baffin Island Canada. I moved to New Zealand in 2000. I have formally instructed Jewellery and Metal Arts classes throughout my career. I have a small shop in the historic precinct of Old Cromwell Town where i custom design and craft jewellery and objects of art for the general public. I am always looking for new and interesting ways to deal with challenges and produce my craft. When working for customers i am not an artist i am a tailor and an engineer. I save my self indulgent art side for myself and my family because they are the only ones that lie to me and tell me they like my style and taste. I follow fashion trends in my work and pride myself in making things that are well finished and comfortable to were. my goal is to make you that favorite thing that you never want to take off unless it is to have me make you something else.; www.objects-of-art.co.nz
