Artist Statement:
I have created timeless,
classical bronze oil lamps
that portray 1000 years of
Mediterranean vessels of
light. My Greek, Roman and
North African Bronze Oil Lamps
depict my interpretation of
existing artifacts found in
various archaeological museums
throughout the world. Each is
an original, sculpted in wax
and cast in bronze by the lost
wax method.

Most lamps from 300 BC to 700
AD were made from clay. I have
chosen to honor the original
artists by casting these lamps
in bronze to give them a
permanence and beauty that
only bronze can impart.

Please visit my website for
more historical information on
ancient lighting and extensive
links to the ancient world....
