Hand-forged metal jewelry (silver, copper, brass, bronze)
Art in the Wilds 2018
I am a
je w e lr y metalsmith based in northwest- ern Pennsyl- vania. I use traditional metalsmith- ing tech-
niques to produce rich textures and a sense of movement in metal. Doing every step of the process by hand gives me a
sense of connection with the places and the people who have practiced this art and handed down their techniques through time. I love the versatility and the beauty of met- als and work mainly with silver, copper, red and yellow brass, and bronze, often incorporating gemstones, trans- forming it into pieces of jewelry. I hope that whoever wears my jewelry feels this connection as well and enjoys my hand fabricated pieces. Like every artist, I love sitting down and creating my
jewelry and I search out new techniques to continue to grow and improve as an artist and designer. My inspira- tion comes from various sources - a certain color, the sound of music, nature’s shapes and beauty, architectural designs. Jewelry can be something more than ornament. It can
crafted jewelry. Silhouettes from nature are often inher- ent to my designs as well various semi-precious gem- stones. I work with various metals, with each design cut out
inspire, comfort, or hold a special memory. Initially, one may see the beauty of a gemstone or an elegant composi- tion, but the true value of a piece of jewelry is the secret it keeps, the special relationship between the jewelry and the wearer. Natural elements and the subtle variations of a hand wrought design are a common occurrence in my hand-
of sheet metal using a hand held jeweler’s saw. Texture is made using hammers, metal stamps, various other hand tools, concrete, stones, and many other items that will leave a mark in metals. Components are soldered using an acetelyne torch and silver solder. Patinas (coloration) are carefully added to create contrast. Each edge, corner and surface is carefully finished. Recycled metals are used to create my jewelry pieces whenever possible.
