Metalworks

Artist Bio

I’ve made silkscreens, ice carvings for catered events and sculptural art furniture during my career. I was 50 when I first tried my hand at patinawork on metal and knew this was what I was meant for. Creating color on copper by applying chemicals is a magical process, one that I’ll never grow tired of. The hammered textures and earthtone colors highlight my geometric forms for the wall.
