A BIT OF BACKROUND

I grew up in San Francisco. I joined the Plumbers & Steamfitters Union Local #38 in the early eighties and worked on many of the old Art Deco era high rises and I also spent time down on the waterfront in the shipyards. It was at this time I was taught to work with many different metals using different heating techniques. I have a great appreciation for those who taught me at a time when many things were still being made by hand.
I enjoy working with my hands and re-purposing old pieces of metals mostly copper and brass, soft metals. Whether it's a retired horn turned into a light fixture or a piece of wood, some copper pipe and old brass bits and bops becoming a chair, designing and creating something unique for folks to use and admire for years to come is special to me.

EMPIRE 32X50
2019

Here you see the the piece that took me months to finish. All of my work here is done freehand which greatly adds to the time it takes to complete. As you can see with most of my drawings they are predominately black and white and given the time they take to complete I enjoy getting them photographed and printed in the Inverse. 2019

COPPER THRONES

Each Copper Throne is an original, well-built and finished. This particular throne has a walnut wood seat finished with a wax. Copper can patina naturally or I can clear coat it to keep a shine. These Thrones are ideal for an entryway or foyer. Building one for you to suit your home or business would warm any space nicely. Contact me directly if you're interested.

LOUNGE & KITCHEN RENOVATION

This is a new lounge at youth Hostel in Downtown Vancouver. There was a bedroom at the far end which we demolished the wall and opened up the room which is also home to a kitchen for guests. Utilizing fabric panels on the wall created a more desirable acoustic and warmth to the space and a great spot to eat and or plug in your media.
