    I am a retired jeweler trying to move on to large scale sculpture and
    art furniture. I was a jeweler for thirty-five years; for those of
    you that have an older collection of Lapidary Journal, the May, 1997
    dealer's issue has a feature article showing some of the jewelry I
    have made. I still make things occasionally for friends and long time
    customers and am still playing with lapidary work. I am interested in
    networking with other jewelers, considering the possibility of
    selling some of my tools and materials. I look forward to using the
    site.

    I'm a silversmith and lapidary based in Ojo Sarco, New Mexico and
    Morrison, Colorado. I focus on semi-precious stone inlay. I like to
    find ways to use geometric forms to create bold jewelry with clean
    lines. I especially enjoy working with the stones--finding ways to
    show off their patterns and colors. My settings are hand fabricated
    from sterling sheet, wire, and tubing. Now I'm experimenting with PMC
    in the hopes of expanding my inlay work. I also like to experiment
    with different patina solutions. In 1997, I learned to create stone
    inlay jewelry in one of RoseMarie Christison's classes at Ghost Ranch
    in Abiqui, New Mexico. The same year I left the corporate world and
    established SilverWear. In November 2006, my inlay work was featured
    in Lapidary Journal magazine. I am also a certified PMC A rtisan by
    the PMC Guild. I grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Princeton
    University in 1982 with a degree in English. I've been living in the
    west ever since. My work has been shown in galleries in Colorado, New
    Mexico and Montana, and through private trunk shows. Future plans
    include a perma nent studio, classroom and gallery in Ojo Sarco on
    the famous "High Road to Taos" in mountains of northern New Mexico.
