In 2011, I took a Metal-Smithing 101 class through my local university. The ability to move and manipulate the metal with basic tools such as hammers and torch was fascinating to me, and fulfilled a need to work with my hands that I didn't get in my office job. A couple years later, I was introduced to the Ohio Valley Enamel Guild where I learned to add color to my art through the use of enamels. As I learned many different enameling techniques, I became focused on one in particular that allowed me to express my designs through drawing. Now many of my pieces have hand-drawn designs. Each is a unique drawing that I do myself and hope that others will enjoy.
