Biography: The journey with leather art began at the tender age of 16. Fifty three years later the challenges, the accomplishments, the victories and the frustrations continue to embrace me. Local shops in the college towns purchased my wallets and belts. I did a few craft fair here and there and kept me creating during the 15 years of leather artistry. I even taught a few leather craft classes at the local community college in Catskill NY. After a 10-15 year break when I entered my culinary art period. A trip to Italy with my new life partner sparks my leather adventure once again. in a gondola ride with a leather carved seat and bow through the grand canal inspired me to the current 18 years love song I have with leather.

Upcoming shows: We are now preparing for a show at Safety Harbor On December 8th.

Below is a sample of work I did during the last 3 months. Barrettes, Wallets, Handbags, Belts, Journal covers, Hats, Earrings to name a few. Every piece is unique and hand crafted. Each piece is laser cut to insure precision in the stitching. Then the art department takes over, the ink is applied and each piece is sealed to prevent fading.
