...Sculptor and wood carver, I create bas-reliefs, full-round sculptures, and decorations in wood. I also work with terracotta, papier-mâché, or plaster, either decorated or in their natural state, based on the client's design or idea. I restore antique gilding and lacquering on frames, furniture, statues, and other wooden objects. I assemble custom frames, hand-painted and/or gilded or silvered, and reproduce antique frames on request.
