I have a small studio/shop on Main Street in downtown Palisade, the Peach and Wine capital of Colorado. I am self-taught and I started my "silversmithing" career 6 years ago in my garage.

I work primarily with sterling silver, and don't always have a plan for my creations, but I think that works out best, because you end up with a design that is truly unique.

I DON'T cast or use PMC. Each piece starts with a sheet of sterling silver and is cut, hammered, embellished, antiqued and soldered using traditional metalsmithing techniques. Although I will "duplicate" certain designs - you can be assured they will NEVER come out exactly the same!!

I love custom orders, as it involves you, the customer, in the design process. Together, we can take an idea and make it into a truly inspired and one of a kind, treasured piece of art. I take pride in each piece of jewelry I create and I guarantee quality craftsmanship.

Rustic, with a kind of imperfect, organic look and feel - that's the beauty of handmade.
