Star Crackle
Drawings made from the outside in. I made this series to sort of force myself to make mistakes - knowing that the grid drawing couldn't be sustained, geometrically, as the space gets smaller and smaller. Sometimes, as the grid gets closer and closer to the center, the grid sort of makes sense, as it compresses. This one was not willing to compress. So I left it, sort of 'granulating', and leaving negative space to allow it to carry on, as it will... .

Star Crackle
Drawings made from the outside in. Sometimes, as the grid gets closer and closer to the center, the grid sort of makes sense, as it compresses. This one was not willing to compress. It’s a delight to see my work printed on all sorts of things, and making their way into your everyday!

Portage Pendants
This is one happy paddler! She liked the Northwoods Cuff Bracelet 👇 so much, that she asked me to make her two pendants, for different occasions. The smaller one is hand engraved, and then darkened - for a 'black & white' effect. And the others' imagery is created using low relief carving, the way the details are rendered in the Cuff. I always love the way that engraved and oxidized silver looks - like a fine art etching. There's something magical, and gestural, clear evidence of the hand. Which I am a big fan of. My clients are wonderful! I really love working with fine folks, getting their imagined pieces down on paper - to wax - and finally into the fine metal of their choosing.
I am honoured to be able to make meaningful, beautiful pieces for my terrific clients. .

Faces (three holes) I've been seeing and playfully

Faces (three holes)
I've been seeing and playfully photographing faces, in the form of 'three holes' for several years now. I collect them where ever I go, it's an amusing pass time, that always gives me great joy. All over the world, any time, I find what I have come to think of as my fairies. I have another story about this work, but you will have to ask me about it in person! ; ) .

‘Three Holes’ - Paris
This is one of my favourite images from a photo series that I have been working on for several years. Found 'three hole' images that resemble faces... they are everywhere! This was found, in construction material on the streets of Paris. .

Northwoods Cuff Bracelet, custom commission. I carved this beauty for a lover of Solo Canoeing. It represents 28hrs of carving time, and a lot of appreciation for the Beauty of nature.
It was really neat, to be designing and carving this cuff bracelet over Canadian Thanksgiving. My family always celebrates in Muskoka, and the landscape is very similar, with white pines, rocks, and fresh water, to what my American Client had requested me to design around. Always beautiful, now I have another connection. I am thankful, as always to the lovely folks that somehow find me, and become my clients. This cuff is so well loved, she has had me make a few more for her loved ones, and even a second, so she could always wear hers, with out worry of loss. Delightful.
🛶
A nice memory of thanksgiving weekends-past. Unfortunately this year, my family won’t be able to get together. (On this, my favourite holiday by far). For now I happily recall crispy leaves under foot, tasty food, and peels of laughter.
