I create sculptural jewelry informed by lines and textures etched in the land by nature and also patterns that occur through man's agricultural practices. I am inspired by these vast aerial landscapes and, using gold, silver and stones, redefine them into works designed for the body.

    Hi, Roger,
    My name is nisa -- your work is absolutely beautiful!! I really responded to it. I used to make pieces that dealt with relationships between the body and the land and structures that interface between the two. Those works are not on my page here yet, but I'd love for you to see them when I add them!

    Roger, thank you for that exceptionally flattering comment on my page. It means a lot to me that people "get" the technical and historical details of my work.

    hi roger,

    i'm discovering there are so many great metalsmiths in the StL area.  there are more people in your area than  my whole state!  i will be passing thru StL right after the first weekend in may.  i'll be coming from the brookside show in KC.  so that would be may 7 and/or 9.  i'm heading to hannibal to a friends but i wanted to stop and see peg and now you!  i'll also be leaving hannibal on the 9th so i could pop in that day also, should one or both days suit you guys better.  let me know your thoughts.  i have to get to peg with the dates also.

    hey roger,

    sorry time for email is becoming scarce with only a little over 2 weeks to go b4 i hit the road.  no problem about the evening.  i realized that i have to be in new orleans by thursday early because my set-up is 11 on thurs the 10th.  so i think i'll be heading thru on the 8th, leaving me all day on the 9th to travel down there.  it's 675 miles from stL to NO, and i can do that in a day.  could visit you during the day too, if that's not a distraction.  do you have a cell phone number i could plug into my cell.  i don't always have an internet connection and i don't have any kind of smart phone.  just a regular old one that i can call from or text.  looking forward to meeting up in stL.
