Western jewellery and belt buckles
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration is the western way of life and the history of silver in North America. I love incorporating my client’s stories and heritage when I create their custom wearable art. I want them to be able to pass their pieces down to the next generation of their family and wear their heritage.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won the money I would continue my education by taking advanced engraving and gem setting courses through artisans such as master engraver Sam Alfano.
