I HAVE WORKED AS A JEWELER FOR 43 YEARS NOW. FOR THE FIRST HALF OF MY CAREER I TRIED EVERYTHING TO PUT TEXTURE ON SILVER, REPOUSSE WORK, ROLLER PRINTING, MOKUME, CHASING HAMMERING ETC.. THEN I TOOK A WORKSHOP IN FIBER IN METAL AND IT ROCKED MY WORLD! FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS NOW I HAVE BEEN WEAVING MY METALS AND SEE TEXTURE AND DESIGN IN NATURE, CLOTHING, HATS ETC... ANYTHING WITH A PATTERN INTRIGUES ME !
