Leaves Sconce
This is half of a pair of sconces I made for either side of a dining room window. Almost every piece of this light is hand made or modified for this particular sconce. The leaves are cut from 20g. copper sheet. After they are cut they are heated, cooled and hand formed over a variety of metal stakes.. The flat pieces are formed with hands and some light hammering. The stems are made of hammered and twisted brass rod. I made a custom canopy for the wall with custom socket brackets for the two bi-pin LED bulbs behind the leaves. The leaves hang by clips from the canopy bracket. All the metal has been subject to an oxidation treatment that is hand rubbed and waxed.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
My work started as a part of the crafts movement in the 70's. Street fairs, galleries, and word-of-mouth provided me with a steady stream of commissioned work. While most of my work revolved around lighting, I often did other fun, creative, problem solving projects for clients.
In the 90's I became a commercial photographer and enjoyed that lifestyle for almost 30 years. Near the end of the photography work I started getting back into my crafts roots. I did both photography and crafts for about eight years and then returned full time to the craftsman life. I am still doing mostly lights but do branch out now and then if the project seems fun or challenging. At this point I have projects scattered all over the Puget Sound area as well as around the country. I have several clients with multiple pieces including one client for which I have created ten custom lights.
My work is very eclectic. It's basically a refined industrial style using a wide range of materials and fabrication techniques, This makes almost every piece a unique, one-of-a-kind, work of art.
