ART HARDWARE


My jewelry decorates people but my art hardware embellishes homes. With other pioneers of artist made furniture/hardware, my switch plates earned me the title of one of the "new barbarians," in Newsweek, something my mother proclaimed not news to her.


One lucky Saturday morning as the NY Times editor rushed to the corner for the latest edition and a bagel, he caught me in the act of installing the display of my future history hardware in my little shop window. Thus my talent was discovered and I became a hardware star in the columns of the home section.


Later in LA, when Walter Matthieu, received his edition of the times and read it over his morning coffee, he was so tickled he rang up and ordered them for his LA abode.

English phone booth handles inspired the commission for these handles on Keith Richards night table…

And both the Breitling Watch Company and Willie G's Harley Davidson Museum use these silver wings for their display.

I welcome projects for detailing the home.
