Although I have been designing, crafting and selling wearable art for over 25 years, I like to think of myself as teacher first and then as a metalsmith artist.
Through the years, I have helped several of my students launch careers in jewelry art. Even more fulfilling is the pleasure I get teaching those who attend my class seeking relaxation, diversion or simply the desire to create something beautiful.
I love what I do. And in the end, isn’t effective teaching an art in itself?
