I am a metal artist living with my husband in the foothills of Fresno, California. I got started in metal when I changed careers in 2000 to pursue welding. During that time, I had an opportunity to work with a local blacksmith/artist and was exposed to the world of metal "art." I was blown away when I saw the scope of what a person could create out of metal and I wanted to be part of that! I started my business with the intention of creating unusual metal and copper art with various metal working techniques from welding to forging to repousse.

I particularly enjoy making things out of metal that people would not expect to see made out of metal. I also specialize in the techniques of repousse and chasing, which are basically advanced metal embossing techniques. My goals with this process are to get away from the more traditional themes of subject matter, such as the Arts and Crafts era styles, and challenge myself with more unique subject matter and details.
