Having begun my studies with master metalsmith Bud Rudesill in North Carolina, I have focused on traditional techniques for metalsmithing by hand. I continued my studies at the Lawrence Arts Center in Lawrence, Kansas and I am currently in London, England where I'm also studying metalsmithing and expanding my palette.
