Some of my first work was silversmithing. That evolved into ceramics and sculpture, both stone carving and lost wax bronze (and aluminum) casting, and painting. Studio space has always been a challenge to find, especially after moving to New York City in 1997. Since that time, increasingly smaller canvases have been painted because of space and storage restrictions.

Additionally, stone has always been an interest, from a family limestone business in Bloomington, IN, to actually digging for rocks and minerals... I am and always have been spellbound by rock formation, gemstones, the Grand Canyon, the Natural History Museum Rocks and Minerals Room...

Missing sculpting, I recently decided to return to my silver smithing roots as sculpture, and incorporate my passion for gemstones as well. The result is this shop, which I consider another dimension of my fine art studio. You'll also find my drawings, paintings, and sculpture for sale here too, along with recycled, repurposed jewelry.

In addition, I donate 5% of my profits to organizations working to improve our planet (that includes all plants, animals, and us). Please make suggestions for worthy beneficiaries. The list includes: Kiva; WWF; Sierra Club; Save The Children: UNICEF; Green Peace; PETA; and numerous water, land, and animal rehab and rescue organizations. And I strive to recycle, repurpose, and make eco-friendly items shipped in recycled, reused, and eco-friendly shipping.

Thanks for reading my shop's story. I look forward to having you as a customer.
