I've been a metalsmith for over twenty years and I've focused the bulk of my work on wire and its' many techniques. My goal is always to try and create new techniques and push the medium and to that end, I've written a few books on the subject. I'm also an abstract painter so color is typically a strong component in most of my work.
It's all about the movement of the line, the wire "line", and what I can make it do, how I can make it do the most unique and unexpected things. It's also partially about the natural grace and flow of wire and how I can morph it to enhance those qualities.
