Artist Profile
Welcome to my site! Lightwaves Unlimited has been in the wholesale trade for over 13 years. Art has always been my passion and metal work has always held a fascination for me. Schooled in the old way of apprenticeship, I took to metal work like a fish to water. Many of the techniques I employ in my one of a kind designs have been discovered through books and experimentation. I love the process of creating a piece from a concept and bringing it into form which evolves and changes along the way. Fabricating, bending, forming and texturing metal is both captivating and satisfying. I love what I do and I love touching people's lives in a joyful and meaningful way. Sharing my passion with people who enjoy my work and feel good when wearing my pieces is very, very rewarding.
After punching out the sheet metal using dies,
I individually hand-stamp each letter onto the silver.
This process involves smoothing and removing any excess metal.
Using this press, I form the silver to make the bracelets and anklets.
Here, I am soldering the jump rings closed.
