Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I create custom jewelry and art in metal employing the ancient technique of hammered metal called chasing and repoussé. I work in gold, silver, and copper to produce custom pieces of lasting beauty.
I learned hammered metal techniques from a succession of internationally renowned artists including Tom and Kay Benham, Valentin Yotkov, and Fabrizio Acquafresca. Much of my knowledge of silversmithing is self-taught, though I have attended workshops in silversmithing and other metalsmithing techniques.
My work usually employs natural objects as their model, such as leaves, flowers and animals, although some of my more spectacular pieces involve geometric shapes. All my pieces are one-of-a-kind, and I enter into an extensive dialog with my clients to arrive at a personal design before I begin work.

Maker Policies
Shipping Policy
I ship to anywhere in the US. I prefer shipping UPS, but can accommodate other client preferences upon request. All packages are shipped insured, regardless of carrier.
Installation Policy
For large art pieces, I prefer the client to arrange for installation. For locations within 100 miles of my location, I may be able to install the piece myself. It never hurts to ask.
Maker Policy
All costs of materials must be paid before work begins. Upon completion, I will send photos of the final piece. If you are pleased with the project, I will invoice you for the final payment. Once I receive payment, I will ship the completed piece. If you need to cancel a project or return a completed piece, please contact me. We can probably work something out.
