About the artist

I love pattern, texture, form, and shape.  I enjoy the challenge of bringing these elements together in cohesive and fluid designs.  My father — a pattern maker — passed on to me a lifelong love of tools and their uses, an esteem for sound construction, and a fascination with mechanisms of all kinds. It is important to me that my metal pieces be fully realized, assembled with care, and attractively finished front and back. My education in metalsmithing has been largely acquired at the Hanover metals studio of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. More recently I have added glass fusing to my repertoire, incorporating it into jewelry pieces as well as producing functional vessels.
