Where to Find my Work:
|
I describe myself as a vigorous hybrid of artist and biologist. My education has followed a rather varied and winding path and resulted in a Bachelor’s degree in Biology (1989), a Master’s degree in Natural and Applied Sciences (Botany and Studio Art, 1995) and a Master of Fine Arts in Metals (2010).
In 2019, after nearly 30 years of day jobs teaching science and art at the college level, I left the world of academic teaching to focus full-time on metalsmithing, jewelry and other artistic pursuits. My contemporary art jewelry has been represented by Charon Kransen Arts in New York City. My production jewelry is available at Smash Bangles in Santa Fe, NM, and assorted seasonal Midwestern venues. I started my own business, "Wishbone Studio," offering jewelry now and eventually other fine art and craft items. I have exhibited my work nationally since 1993 and have been published in “Narrative Jewelry: Tales from the Toolbox” (Schiffer Publishing), “Fabulous Jewelry from Found Objects” (Lark Press) and eight other Lark Press books, including “21st Century Jewelry: The Best of the 500 Jewelry Series.” I’ve taught metals and jewelry classes and workshops at the community, collegiate and national level since 1990. |
