When people ask me what I do,

my response is often predicated by the context...

who is asking and the environment in which the question is posed.

I am a welder, designer, structural fabricator, jeweler,

and occasionally I have the courage to reply that I am an artist,

but my default is simply to say,

I am a maker.

My primary body of work is fabricated from high-tensile, fine-gauge stainless steel, a material I’ve been exploring for over two decades. Its properties allow me to create deceptively strong yet visually delicate forms using very small diameter wires. I use an arc welding process at precise settings to melt and fuse the metal at the tiny joints. Although welding is typically viewed as industrial, I liken my process to the domestic act of sewing, stitching threads of metal together to build larger structures.

Over the past five years, I’ve also been developing a parallel body of ceramic work which echoes the quiet restraint and material sensitivity of my metalwork. These two practices are distinct, but they share a minimalist ethos and a deep engagement with process and form. Whether working in steel or clay, I focus on revealing the inherent qualities of each material.

My work spans installation, functional design, and contemporary craft, often moving fluidly between categories. Rarely does a single piece fit neatly into one definition. Instead, each exists on a continuum where disciplines cross-pollinate and inform one another. What emerges is a cohesive visual language across the varied facets of my making.
