ARTIST  STATEMENT :

I am an enameller specializing in individual pieces of enameled sculpture and jewelry. Using the traditional techniques of cloisonné and plique-a-jour my work is a rich and evocative exploration of color and imagery.
The Items I make include enameled bowls and small sculptures as well as enameled jewelry such as brooches, earrings, necklaces, and pendants. The metals I use are fine silver and 22k gold. I incorporate gold granulation and stones in some of my pieces.

I have studied at Texas Tech College in Lubbock, TX, The Glasswell Museum of Fine Art School in Houston, TX, PM Ltd in Houston, TX, the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC and the Tobe Pascher Workshop in NYC.

I co-founded the National Jewish Artisans Guild in NYC
