Artist Summary: Working with old junk, bones, relics, tools, and cabinets, I add soft materials such as fur, hair, rubber and wax. What evolves is an invented object that hovers between abstract and representational.  I especially like unexpected twists and surprises that give new meanings to familiar things.

My work is experimental, employing the element of risk in each piece. I love the heat of the torch and the ring of the hammer. I create jewelry with soul – and it is created to wear – a bit precious, but not too much.

Artist Summary: I made Salida my home about five years ago. My media ranges from photography to film, jewelry created with stone and copper, 3 Dimensional multi-media canvases, to suspended copper sculptures. Not a day goes by without a new creative art innovation. I owned “Sunlight Studios” for four years and have recently moved my art to “Earth Song Creations” on First St. and “Mountain Spirit Gallery” on Hwy. 50. I’m also planning to do some days at the farmers market in Salida. Oh, I almost forgot, I have a passion for writing too!
