ARTIST'S BIO

A graduate of Central Academy of Commercial Art In Cincinnati, Ohio
I have enjoyed a career as an Illustrator, Designer, Art Director and Creative Director
for over 25 years for many national accounts. 
 

JEWELER
In 1995 I began smithing. All my work is designed by myself and is hand-fabricated
from sterling/gold sheet and wire. In 1997 I began doing my own lapidary and intarsia work.I hand-cut most of my larger display stones. I love to forge clean fluid lines and cut stones with rich colors and patterns.
Retails prices of my work range from $25.00 - $900.00. 
Most of my pieces sell between $25.00 - $275.00.
My training as a jeweler and lapidary artist has been working with other jewelers and lapidary artists, teaching myself through books and classes at Drouhard National Jewelers School.
