Hand fabricated sterling silver and 14k gold jewelry with natural stones, all original and one-of-a-kind designs. Techniques include reticulation and granulation.

Acrylic and watercolors

60% reclaimed lumber creating all original designed furniture and sculpture, including solid wood furniture using no metal fasteners and brutilist and geometric sculptures using 100% reclaimed wood.

I use a traditional flame torch to heat and melt sterling silver and 14K gold which I shape, carve and polish by hand into wearable fine jewelry that I hand-set with precious / semiprecious gemstones

As an artist my primary medium is charcoal and ink in a realistic and illustration style. Each piece explores the themes of realism along with light and shadow, and contrast and harmony.

Acrylic paintings on canvas

I developed a mixed media approach to encaustic painting (hot beeswax). My etchings and drawings are embedded in layers of beeswax along with fabric, graphite, chalk, pastels, rice papers, and more.

I design templates for nail patterns and hand weave multiple layers of colorful threads around the nails to create mandalas and geometric designs based on an Eastern European practice of thread art.

I use recycled metal, wood, and plastic, assembled with epoxies and super glue, to create sculptures of plants and animals. The pieces are then hand painted to mimic the color pattern of the subject.

Fluid acrylic and metallic paint done in my sunset or cosmic pour technique. Midwest landscapes done in gold, silver, and copper metal foils. Finished with a glitter resin so they shine in the light!

Pen and ink artist, drawing mostly castles, all featuring brick, hence my nickname the Brick Artist.

Hand forged metal items. Ranging from wall art, to tables, and metal art that can be used in home or office.

My work is mostly wheel thrown stoneware.

Jewelry is forged using precious metals with traditional silversmithing techniques. Gemstones, fossils and enamels are incorporated. Texture is created by layering, stamping and rolling mill.
