Welcome!

In my studio in San Francisco , I work underneath a picture of my grandfather as a boy grinding pigment in Russia .  My desire is to carry on the traditions of color and patina that evoke times gone by.  I use oil, casein and acrylic paints as well as images and jewelry gathered from all over the world.  I create each box for someone special whom I may never meet. 

If you are that person, you'll know.
