PROLITHIC CREATION

I have an extended history of tireless hours and countless miles, hiking through mountains and deserts in pursuit of knowledge of the "ancient ones" and their material culture. This interest began in the mid 1970's. My appreciation for the natives of our Earth, took me on an obsessed evolution to master the art of traditional Native American beadwork, with needle and thread (or sinew) in hand, for more than a decade. At some point I found a need to support myself as a jeweler and have used some of this background for a few of my lithic creations.
