My method is one of traditional Spanish colonial tinwork to which I have introduced contemporary
materials & designs. First the metal is treated to achieve a surface patina, then using simple traditional tools
such as nails, chisels, pliers & handmade stamps I decorate the surface by stamping, bending & soldering
& sometimes, coloring or reverse painting glass additions. The larger pieces are then mounted on a wood
frame. My forms are primarily mirrors, frames, candle sconces & screens. . . .
