As an Art History major I became fascinated with the Pre-Raphaelites & the work of William Morris in England. Once I discovered the American Arts & Crafts Movement, my fervor was ignited for the rich history & works of art emanating from the turn of the century. Metalwork & lighting were especially interesting to me and became my passion for the past 30 years.

The roots of Modernism lie within the early craftsmen & designers at the turn of the 20th Century. My focus today is on the continued research of these artists & their objects as well as the never ending hunt for hidden gems.
