I have always loved working with metal, but as a young student I found my jewelry designs to be lacking something. Luckily, I was studying with David LaPlantz, who taught me how to anodizing aluminum and when I could play with color and metal at the same time, I was hooked for good.
Anodizing is a specialized, process that allows me to permanently dye the metal a wide range of luminous colors.
