Biography
New York City based artist working in precious metals, especially Gold and Silver Plating Processes. I am interested in exploring non-traditional formats of alchemy because of their artistic possibilities and place in contemporary art.
My first inspirations with precious metals derive from my personal heritage that is intimately involved with both pre-Columbian gold and shamanism. Those traditions inspired in me an impetus to create, in the belief that the glitter of gold transmits a magical and fertilizing energy to humanity.
