I have maintained a private studio practice for five decades, creating a body\u00a0 of work that won awards from the World Gold Council, the American Jewelry Design Council, and Jewelers of America New Designers Gallery. My jewelry focuses on minimalism in precious metal and has been represented in select galleries\u00a0across\u00a0North America.<\/p>\n
In 2005 I joined the faculty of the Revere Academy, where I taught marketing and goldsmithing classes through 2017 when Alan\u00a0Revere retired and closed the school.<\/p>\n
I currently teach workshops and master classes in applied techniques of goldsmithing and silversmithing, as well as design, creative and professional development classes and seminars internationally as a visiting guest artist.\u00a0In addition to offering my annual winter series of In Depth Retreats and private\u00a0 instruction in my Scottsdale Arizona studio, I am available for personalized individual consultation and mentoring.<\/p>\n
