My gates range in size from garden gates to a four thousand pound driveway gate (perhaps the most massive of all forged gates erected in Northern California). The qualities they all share are:

• Sophisticated atheistic and structural design
• uncompromised craftsmanship, and
• the unique vision of one of America's leading sculptor/metalsmiths.

Architectural periods and styles can be challenged or meticulously reproduced by the artist/craftsperson. Example: In the former case, “challenged” means superimposing conflicting periods or styles, such as contemporary or gothic, or Victorian or Craftsman; in the latter case, by “reproduced” means going to great pains to copy the work of the specific period, often with uncreative and lifeless designs. Look carefully at my gates, I hope you agree with me that the designs are harmonious with the setting yet dynamically original and contemporary.
