Products

With sterling silver and copper I make one-of-a-kind jewellery and small sculptural pieces. Dogs and cats are a source of inspiration.

Artist Statement

Learning the craft of silversmithing has been a challenge and (even with the inevitable frustrations!) a source of great satisfaction and pleasure, not only in the work itself, but also because in the process I have made many new friends, in the WGG and related activities, who have stimulated and encouraged me in my work.
