My pieces are one-of-a-kind. I am the first (and only one that I know of) to take this method and transform it into three dimensional vessels. Most pieces are an ancient Italian needle lace technique made from copper, sterling silver and brass wire. They are free standing and amazingly unique.

My pieces are one-of-a-kind. I am the first (and only one that I know of) to take this method and transform it into three dimensional vessels. Most pieces are an ancient Italian needle lace technique made from copper, sterling silver and brass wire. They are free standing and amazingly unique.
Presently my work is on display at Vale Craft Gallery in Chicago. I have had work in several galleries including SOFA Chicago, where one piece was sold to a collector through Mobilia Gallery of Cambridge, MA. Also, one of my pieces made the cover of The Craft Report in March of 2006.
I have a collection of 50-60 pieces that range in size from micro: just bigger than a quarter, to gem: around baseball sized and spherical, to vessels that are 18-20 inches in height.
I physically cannot work in larger forms because of wear and tear on my hands and wrists and I no longer create these pieces. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome has put an end to this series of work. Making them a limited edition that will not be duplicated.
