Commissoned Art  

 

Penny is a good friend of mine and when she saw my sculpture of a tall dancer called "Let's Dance", she asked me to make a "Tree" for her garden. The tree is made of steel ree-bar and steel plates. It depicts three kids hanging on the tree, having fun, while a bird is sitting on a branch watching them. Click the picture to see the process.
This ring was dedicated to a friend of a friend as a gift of admiration. It depicts Kanji letters such as: Love, Honesty, Friendship, Integrity etc. The ring is made of Fine Silver PMC.
The theme "Together" has evolved through many years. I have made many versions of this sculpture in an assortment of sizes & materials. From clay, copper, silver and steel. From tiny to large. This one is a steel version, made of a recycled fire extinguisher, that was a birthday gift for my husband, Dovi. Since this theme fascinates me, I will probably continue to make variations of it in the future.
The jigsaw puzzle is one of the symbols of the "Cure Autism Now" organization. I made these earrings and pendants at the request of my friend Karyl, in tribute to the mothers who work endlessly to raise their autistic children as normally as possible.
My friend Beth is a deep sea angler. Every time she returns from a fishing tour she brings us some tuna, fresh off the boat! Awesome! Beth wanted a piece of jewelry with a Tuna motif. This is the silver pendant I made for her. I love the way the pendant "wiggles" like a fish. In July 2004, Beth was the "Star" fisherman in the San Diego News.
