ABOUT THE ARTIST
A born artist, I really found my niche when I picked up my first saw frame. It felt like I had the knowledge all along, but not the tools. When I was introduced to metalsmithing at The Maryland Institute College of Art it just made sense. Through years of study, apprenticeships, and benchwork I have honed my skills as a metalsmith and developed the aesthetic I bring to you today.
My minimalist designs are hand-fabricated in sterling silver and 18k gold. I begin with sheet, wire, and tubing which I saw, solder, forge and form to build the architecturally inspired works ruminating in my mind. My design is heavily influenced by line. I see the world through the lines that comprise it. Like all artists, I can only imagine a life where I soak up the world around me and reinterpret it through my chosen medium. I love the process of building a piece, the care that goes into each soldered joint, each hammered texture, each sanded stroke so I can bring to you something to be cherished. In 2015, I was honored to be recognized by the Maryland State Arts Council with an Individual Artist Award and in 2018 as a Master Artisan by The Pennsylvania Guild Of Craftsmen. I live and work in Baltimore City, but you can find me exhibiting at festivals from coast to coast as well as showing in independent galleries. Just visit the Find Me page on this site. |

Okay, I'm not really this tall but here is where you will find
me when I'm not at the bench. The land and seascapes from my childhood inform my aesthetic. Bridges, pilings, pipes, and fences marry architecture with natural beauty. Although this aesthetic pulses through all of my work, I have developed a group specifically to honor this place that I love. I call it "down the shore".
