Painted Hide

At the age of 19 Alvin began silver-smithing and eventually expanded his craft to include copper and gold. He worked for many years as a silver – and goldsmith creating both traditional and custom jewelry for galleries and private collectors.  His work includes pendants, rings, and bracelets.

Aside from creating jewelry Alvin has continued as a wood carver and is well-known for his work with non-traditional woods such as mahogany, cherry, and alder. His designs are a mix of both traditional and contemporary.  His work have been sold to collectors throughout North America, Europe, and Australia.
