I have been creating objects in various mediums for more than 60 years. Some have been practical and utilitarian in nature, and others expressive. In the beginning I made my living by making custom deerskin clothing in Laguna Beach California. In the early 70s I moved to Texas and I began making silver and predominantly turquoise jewelry. I cut the stones from rough and fabricated each piece individually. In 77 I began to work in gold and platinum pieces set with precious and semi-precious gems. I worked as an independent trade shop for jewelers in Colorado, Texas, California, and Florida, all the while collecting material i could use as inspiration moved me. I have retired from the business and make pieces based not on commercial marketability but rather what pleases me to create. I might entertain creating articles by request if my gallery inspires a particular desire. I do have some pieces which are displayed for sale. If you just enjoy looking at my work, that pleases me greatly. Feel free to contact me with comments or if you desire to own something I create.
