Since 1972 my craftsman journey as a studio artist has followed where the medium has led, fueled by an intense curiosity in a variety of metalworking techniques, primary hot working of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. I have acquired the skills to produce and market my work through a diversity of non-traditional educational and work experiences. With the evolution of these skills and through experiment, a design philosophy emerged developing a personal vocabulary dealing with sculptural, decorative and architectural concerns.
