This "Fine Pewter" collection has grown out of my fascination with wildlife and the desire to capture its diversity in accurately detailed and affordable pieces of wearable art. My interest in wildlife was firmly established at an early age through countless visits to museums, zoos, hiking and fishing trips and by keeping all sorts of pets. This appreciation was further enhanced while earning degrees in Natural Resource Conservation and Biology. I sculpt the original designs at actual size and then make precision molds from them, capturing even the finest details. Working with my brother Jim and the production crew, we hand pour and finish each piece in a 20 step process. The work is cast exclusively in "Fine Pewter", a jeweler’s alloy which maintains its antiqued look indefinitely. |
