"I grew up around my Dad’s machine shop and I started making copper jewelry for myself and friends. I have always enjoyed experimenting, so I am always coming up with something unusual and no two pieces are the same. Sometimes I will torch paint, etch, fold, bend, hammer, add gemstones, or even several of these process to a piece; the possibilities are endless. I use recycled copper whenever possible, and it tells me most of the time what it wants to do, and always turns out beautiful. I make earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets of copper and also German Silver (Ni-Copp) that sings like wind chimes."
