During the cold winter months of 2014 - 2016 I visited the Philadelphia Art Museum a lot and began to pay more and more attention to the frames surrounding the works. From the highly ornamental frame of Van Gogh's Sunflowers  to a simple Jasper Johns frame all had a uniqueness and interest that sometimes outweighed the art to me.  

This is when I began to sketch and shift my focus on creating unique frames that evolved quickly into mirrors.

I love engaging the viewer in the energy, natural magic and presence that a beautiful mirror brings.


My goal is to create the rarest, most imaginative and unique  handmade mirrors that have ever existed.
