Having studied geology for as long as I did I can’t help but be attracted to the evolution of species. What could be better than the partial animal images of Mary Colter’s Mimbreño to fuel my imagination?
Your mama may have been black but your grand daddy was a dinosaur!

In November 2015, my silversmithing teacher died suddenly. John McGahie, master jeweler and adjunct professor at New Mexico Highlands University left us. So, so, so sad.
The day after John’s death, I was asked to teach the remaining weeks of the fall semester. It was a great honor to do this for him, his students and my alma mater.
On a happier note, I just finished this piece that I know would have made John smile.
Mary Colter’s mimbreño crane, now has the head feathers of a heron.
I was asked to teach Jewelry and Metalsmithing at NMHU for the spring semester 2016. Though tickled, I declined. The tracks beckon…

Thank you for looking at my latest work. It will be for sale at Rough Rider Antiques in Las Vegas, NM this weekend September 12th and 13th during the annual Las Vegas Studio Arts Tour. Rough Rider Antiques is across the street from the Castañeda Hotel which will feature several local artists.
A big thanks to California Poppy patron, Nancy Otto, for giving me some broken Fred Harvey dinnerware: Blue Chain, Berkeley (the cherry blossoms) and Encanto. The latter was used at El Tovar, the Grand Canyon’s Fred Harvey hotel.
The tracks continue to call me and I of course am still and forever a Fred Head.
