blacksmithing

I took a blacksmithing class this past fall from Marsha Trattner, through SVA.  It was a great class and I love it!  I had always wanted to try forge work and torch work.  I like the idea of forging metal into whatever you want.  This is just the beginning for me in this medium.  Under “New Work” I just posted some photos of belt buckles I made.

applications

I have been busy this winter getting applications in for grad schools next fall.  Thus, managing this website and creating new work has fallen behind.  But the are due soon, so I will be back with some new work shortly.  The application process has actually been really good for my artistic process as well.  Having to articulate what I actually do with my art stimulates a lot of ideas for me.
