The following images reflect my long-lived passion for designing, building and wearing my own handmade shoes and jewelry. My wearable art incorporates quality leathers, waxed linen threads and found objects. The act of hand stitching lends uniqueness and it has been rewarding for me to create shoes, hats, clothing and jewelry made with my own hands as my ancestors did before the age of industrialization.
