Metal

After the design in paper is final the shape is cut from a sheet of copper, edges filed, and volume is given with a hammer.

Sterling Silver Jewelry is acomplished by purchasing the sterling silver and making the shape designed.

Enamel

Enamel is aplied on each piece and fired. The enamel has to be in leyers and each one fired independent, to obtain the diferent color and design desired. A piece is fired from 5 to 15 times depending on the finished product.

The Kiln

The metal with the enamel covering all the piece is placed in the kiln to be fired for a few minutes.

The enamel is fussed on the metal at 1500 degrees F. several times, depending on the complexity of the piece.

ART WORK

After years working with enamels I had the idea to work on pieces of  3D,  so the enamels can stand up and being admired by both sides.

I love the undersea life, so I decided start my coleccion with 3D fishes ,  some they have two sides, so I have to make two exacly pieces and then saw them together.  Other pieces are only one side. 

They have a base of wood, some a natural wood, without any treatment to give a rustic finish.  They are small since the entire piece has to be in the kiln to fire at 1500 F degrees, and the chamber is small.  The pieces are hold on the wood with a metal pole o the same cooper is made the figure.

SKETCHERS

  • In 2020, I found the Urban Sketches Group, I joint it and started drawing outside, focusing on architecturally significant buildings and capturing moments of the life around me.  Miami Beach and the art deco buildings  are powerful inspiration for my drawings. 

Urban Sketchers

Now my travels through  Europe are to join other Urban Sketchers, and visit new countries with a pen and book, to crate traveler's books.


Urban moments, from todays life.  Sketchers capture the daily life of place, a city o a neigbordhood, all sketchers are created on site, with ink and watercolor on watercolor paper.
