I see my jewelry pieces as a spot on the time line of the history of metal-smithing. I use ancient fabrication techniques and stone setting combined with imagery that I feel will date my work to the turn of this century generations from now. In my current body of work, I use various graphic sets that capture decades of pop culture in America.

Presently, all my pieces are one-of-a-kind and limited edition. They are fabricated from 18k gold and sterling silver sheet and wire. I specialize in piercing (delicate sawing with a jeweler’s saw), giving the jewelry a feel of “modern filigree.”  No lasers or other mass-production techniques are used. I am a lapidary, and cut most of the cabachons used in house. All the work is done solely by me, in my Moab Utah studio.
