I am a potter who wandered into precious metal clay and then finding that limiting, decided to take silversmithing classes at the Boca Raton Museum of Art. I fell in love with gemstones and with metal. I ventured on from there to a local Gem & Mineral Society here in Palm Beach County, Florida and learned how to cut stones. My first love of pottery kindled my love to play with fire in the Raku process, and silversmithing has pushed it further with the use of a torch.

I still enjoy both working in clay and metal and exploring the differences of the two mediums.

Luckily, I live way out in the boonies with my family,my chickens, and my dog, where my neighbors find it perfectly normal to have a burn pile going. They just don’t know mine usually has clay at the bottom!
