Artist Statement:

My intent is to create something beautiful from a simple thin, flat piece of metal.  I want to continue the legacy of my ancestors, which is that we are survivors and we can create art from simple forms or media. I use a very traditional technique and try to create new and old patterns of the art. Yes, I do feel it is art in its form and not just a craft.
I have created many pieces throughout my twelve years of working with this medium and am pleased, and hopeful that it has brought some a small sense of pleasure.
