About The Artist

I am a multi-craft artisan, working with metal, glass, and gourds. In all my work I focus particularly on pattern, texture, form, and shape.  I enjoy the challenge of bringing these elements together in cohesive and fluid designs.  My father — a pattern maker — passed on to me a lifelong love of tools and their uses, an esteem for sound construction, and a fascination with mechanisms of all kinds.  My education in both metalsmithing and glass fusing has been largely acquired at various trade studios across the country. Crafting with gourds has been primarily a self-taught skill using online resources.  I am juried into the New Hampshire League of Craftsmen in both metals and glass.
