I have spent much of the past thirty years acquiring an array of interesting antiques and collectibles from around the world. I have had the opportunity to live in Istanbul, New York, and San Francisco as well as the Tampa Bay area of Florida. I was the owner of an Antique Shop and Art Gallery in Florida for six years. I also produced and hosted a television show"Tampa Bay Now!" where I had the opportunity to interview many Artists and celebrities. I am now located in Tucson, Arizona where I teach Enameling on Metal courses for Sonoran Glass Art Academy and Fused Glass courses for Pima County Arts & Lesiure Services. I am also a Metalsmith and Lapidary, cutting my own Gemstones and creating unique Jewelry pieces.
