My designs are made to enhance the design theme and contribute to the overall ambiance of the room, each fireplace screen (along with the hearth tools, log grate or andirons) thus changing the fireplace area into a "small gallery of art" to be enjoyed whether a fire is burning or not.

I use the finest quality materials available and work in a variety of metals including mild and stainless steel, tobin bronze, monel 400, copper and brass. My fire screens and doors are made one at a time and with great care. They are hand fitted to the individual opening, which requires on site work, and I make all the hinges, levers, and handles. Most of the material, I forge to the desired design cross section and it cannot be purchased anywhere. The screen mesh is stainless steel because of its strength and durability and is available in natural or black. The hinges have bronze bushing and polished steel hinge pins for smooth movement. The finish used on the frames and ornamentation is a special oil-paste-wax mixture, which I make myself.

Commissions this past year (2003) include locations throughout the country such as Boston, MA, Whitefish, MT, Vail, CO, and Chicago, IL.

Prices vary with each commission depending on the style, size, materials, and other factors. Here are some prices for reference:
