Great art has the power to infuse life and vitality to the space that it occupies. My objective is to create artwork that not only serves as a decoration for your walls, but that will become a part of your home.
If my art can offer a moment of tranquil reflection and bring beauty to the everyday, than I consider that a true success.

A significant aspect of my work revolves around collecting salvaged copper—pieces that once served as downspouts, cornices, or other architectural elements. The captivating interplay between nature and mankind remains a prominent theme in my creative process. These materials have undergone a metamorphosis with the passage of time-water, oxidation and age leaving their distinctive imprints.
There is a certain reverence in deciding whether to preserve these pieces in their natural state or to infuse them with my creative touch. Each piece holds a unique history, a story woven by the hands of history. |

Not For SaleThese special pieces hold a unique place and are not available for sale. Instead, consider them as a source of inspiration. Viewing them might evoke ideas or feelings that you'd like to incorporate into commissioned works, should you choose to embark on a collaborative journey.
Alternatively, you're welcome to simply indulge in the pleasure of sitting down with a hot cup of tea, immersing yourself in the experience. Enjoy the art, the moment, and the inspiration it brings. |

My Unique Process
Combining Artistry with Chemistry
Each piece begins with a flat sheet of metal, shaped using a sheet metal brake. The colors emerge organically from the copper itself, capturing nature through the application of salts and acids, resulting in captivating patinas.
To ensure longevity, I finish each piece with multiple layers of sealant. This not only protects the artwork from UV sunlight but also preserves the vibrant colors and prevents tarnishing.

My Return Policy
Each piece is an individual work of art and patina colors may vary. Some tooling marks and sanding marks may be present in this work. All of the metal will have a satin like appearance; this is intentional and all scratches are beneath the surface of lacquer. This artwork is painstakingly hand formed, not machine made and is, by nature, imperfect. My aim is for each piece to be museum quality and collectable. If you are not happy with any piece on arrival, contact me directly to make arrangements for a return. I offer a 10 day window where you may return any piece for any reason for a full refund minus the return shipping.

Hi Teresa,
We finally got together with the bride and groom last night, and presented them with the gift. It was a journey for us to find the perfect gift, but you nailed it, and we are sincerely appreciative, and as I've told you, perhaps a bit envious. Many thanks again for this beautifulwork! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season! DAVIDA |
