Artist's Statement

I am a metalsmith. Having grown up on a farm, I am interested in the natural world. My focus in recent years has been on creating one of a kind, larger than life, highly detailed metal insects. I incorporate precious metals, gemstones and various other materials in their construction. Articulated body parts and the use of obvious rivets are important devices. The decorative details and the treasure contained in each piece reference elements of insect life, lore and environment.
