I am a self-taught artist and metalsmith and have been blacksmithing since 1994,
forging jewelry, bells, primitive blades, and other small items.
I do a small amount of lapidary work, primarily handcarved stone beads.
Educated as a Geologist and Botanist, my visual art is inspired by traditional scientific illustration.
I work in graphite pencil, ink on scratchboard, and handground mineral pigments in egg tempera.
