HANDCRAFTED COPPER ART

Copper becomes my canvas, as I hammer in characteristic details and then layer on oxidizing agents which give each piece an original, authentic patina. Patination is a balance of art and science, and I find it very satisfying to express with both form and finish. I work with a local finish carpenter who custom-makes the frames.
