DESIGN
DESIGN | METAL | PAINT
Design is said to be the glimmer in God’s eye. Perhaps so. Our world provides a kaleidoscope of inspiration. Arizona’s desert plants. The textures, shadows and colors of our mountains. Clear blue skies becoming punctuated with puffy clouds only to give way to thunderous storms moving across the desert floor. Every turn of the kaleidoscope is different. Vibrant. Mesmerizing. Unique.
When I paint, I use acrylic. Rich color. Extraordinary textures. Three dimensions when you’re expecting just two – especially when juxtapositioned against unique frames of aluminum, chrome and even glass. Every piece is an experiment. Every piece an adventure.
Metals are as old as the earth – but new to me since starting down this path 15 years ago. Ever since, I’ve been experimenting and developing unique techniques for creating shapes and textures and introducing another element of earth – gem stones. The pieces are meant to be touched. Felt. Worn. Sterling silver, fine silver, 18K and 24K gold, Akoya black pearls, genuine faceted stones are all a part of my work.
