Experience
"As a leather artisan since 1974, a natural rhythm has developed in my work. Before hand cutting, each piece is examined thoroughly. As I lay out my designs I choose which part of the hide will work best to enhance each piece I am working on. Then each seam is guided carefully on an industrial sewing machine to insure quality and longevity."
"My leather bags are classic and functional and are in constant change, there are always new ways to carry and tote objects. My recent work includes burning hand designs onto the surface of leather. After the image is burnt onto the leather it is backed with quilting material. It is then stitched by machine and by hand for enhancement."
