EXPERIENCE
1981-2011 I created a design business early on that spanned the realm from jewelry to
furniture, painting and sculpture, and many fine custom homes in the Santa
Fe area. My studio space can forge and cast metals, work in wood &
ceramics, and painting/sculpting areas. As a home builder I have
developed new materials and ways of using traditional methods.
